Liel Abada names his Celtic Player of the Year as dressing room difference maker gets the vote

Impressed Liel Abada was blown away by the Celtic Park atmosphere when his side ravaged Rangers in February.

But he reckons Sunday will be another level if the Hoops can repeat the feat and all but seal the Premiership title.

Abada, who is up for the PFA Scotland young player of the year award, has enjoyed a spectacular debut season with 15 goals and another 11 assists.

The Israel star has played a key role and there have been several special moments along the way. His goal against Rangers was the best of the lot when he buried the killer third.

But Abada is sure there’s even more to come and if Celtic can overcome their rivals this weekend it could kick off a party. He said: “It was such an amazing atmosphere. It’s always fun to score against Rangers.

“It’s a great feeling to score against your biggest rivals. I was happy to give the supporters a big result. Was it the best atmosphere I’ve experienced? Of course. I’m only 20 and I played in some big games in Israel. But this was amazing. If we win on Sunday, could it be even better? Of course.

“The atmosphere is always amazing inside Celtic Park but if we win the championship I don’t even know what it will be like. We can talk about that afterwards so the focus is on Sunday and completing our goal.”
