Ulrik Laursen Reflects on Celtic Stint

The former centre-back was brought to Celtic Park by Martin O'Neill in 2002, with the Glasgow giants investing £1.3 million to secure his services from Hibernian. Laursen had made a considerable impression during his two seasons at Easter Road, prompting the move to one of Scotland's biggest clubs.

Laursen's time at Celtic represented a significant step up in his career, joining a club competing for domestic honours and European qualification. His performances for Hibs had clearly caught the eye of the Celtic hierarchy, leading to the transfer that saw him swap Leith for the East End of Glasgow.
