Former Celtic midfielder Victor Wanyama has claimed he wants to play for the Scottish club again before he retires from professional football.
The Kenyan international only moved to MLS side Montreal Impact from Tottenham last month, but he says he still wants to make a return to Parkhead in the future:
“I want to play for Celtic again before I finish. I have unfinished business there. I love that club.”
Supporters on Twitter believe Wanyama should have forced through a move to Celtic before opting for a transfer to the USA instead:

Bringing back player's just to play out there career, hope thats finished with he will be 32 when his contract is up, and he's been carrying injuries for the last 2 year

Hoops boss Neil Lennon has repeatedly said that he would have been interested in re-signing the 28-year-old but finances made any deal difficult.
Wanyama’s wages demands were probably the major obstacle in the player returning to Celtic Park, and by the time he is finished in the MLS, it’s unlikely he will be at an age where he would be much use to the Scottish champions.
It seems as though the Kenyan has missed his opportunity to have his second spell with the club.
