[Crosas] Celtic Glasgow-Dundee United

Celtic Glasgow played yesterday the semi-final of the Scottish league cup against Dundee United. After a scoreless draw, Celtic won 11-10 on penalties and qualified for the final.

Former Barcelona midfielder Marc Crosas started the game and played the whole 120 minutes. He hit the bar in extra-time and scored the 7-7 in the penalty shoot out.



Marc Crosas joined Celtic Glasgow in 2008. Since Barcelona can buy Crosas back in the summer of 2010 for two million euro (read more here), this blog will follow the performances of the midfielder over the next two years.

Celtic manager Gordon Strachan:

"I thought the best player on the pitch was Marc Crosas - for being out for so long - was terrific, but neither side had too many weaknesses."

Marc Crosas Crosas! He's better than Fabregas! Marc Crosas Crosas!

thank god he's back from injury. if he hadnt been out for so long with his hamstring problem we would still be in the UEFA cup.

he's staying at celtic though. no way is he going back to barca!
