Mo Camara’s New Career

Former Celtic player Mo Camara has ventured in a new direction years after he hung up his boots and retired from the game.

The 47-year-old was surprisingly Gordon Strachan’s first signing in charge of the Hoops as he spent a season in Glasgow after making the switch from Burnley.

He had impressed the new boss but very quickly fell down the pecking order as a defender in the side after the signing of Mark Wilson and conversion of Ross Wallace.

After a season at Parkhead he once again headed south to join Derby County on a free transfer but did eventually end up back in Scottish football for a short spell at St Mirren years later.

It’s not uncommon for former Hoops stars to head into the drinks industry as many legends from the past have done so including the likes of Billy McNeill, Harry Hood and Bobby Lennox amongst others.

He’s not doing the typical pints but has instead opened up his very own wine bar in the Midlands where he first set up base in the UK after moving from France.

Camara looks completely unrecognisable but can still always claim to have the title of being Strachan’s first signing at the Hoops.
