Former Celtic striker Teemu Pukki, who spent two years with the club, recently helped one of his international teammates leave Ibrox.
Indeed Glen Kamara wanted to leave Rangers in the summer, and Pukki came through. He told the midfielder only good things about Leeds United before the Finland internationalist joined the club. Kamara said (Official Leeds Podcast via Glasgow Times): “Yeah, he (Pukki) messaged me as well, everyone does their due diligence at all of the clubs. He messaged me and had a word with me. He only had good things to say about the manager. I was like okay, I’m excited and after I spoke to the manager, it just confirmed what he (Pukki) said.”
Pukki may have only made 38 appearances for Celtic, although he played his part in helping Kamara get away from Govan. Indeed the manager the duo were referring to in their conversation about the move was Daniel Farke.
The German was linked with a move to Parkhead in the summer before Rodgers returned. He headed for Elland Road instead, however, where he currently has Leeds third in the Championship.
