Former Celtic coach Damien Duff insists getting a canine throughout his time in Glasgow was simply as vital to him as profitable the treble with the Hoops.
The former Chelsea, Newcastle United and Fulham winger had a spell at Parkhead initially as a reserve coach earlier than being promoted to first group duties and helped Celtic win the Treble underneath Neil Lennon earlier than quitting for household causes to turn out to be assistant supervisor to Stephen Kelly at Ireland.
He was appointed Shelbourne boss three years in the past and the Dublin membership are presently prime of the league. But he insists though he was vastly profitable at Celtic, it is a four-legged buddy known as Bella he values equally from his time in Scotland. Duff defined: “I suppose I had a few superb issues I introduced again from Glasgow. I acquired a crammed soccer training in two years, I introduced home a few league medals, a few cup medals, and on a par with all that’s Bella.
“I used to be all the time afraid of dogs, I might run away, however in all probability generally the most effective factor is to go get a canine and she or he’s my greatest mate now. She’s a delicate Glaswegian, she would not just like the wind, the rain, or the snow. She simply likes cuddles and being petted.”
