Mikael Lustig insists his potential Celtic exit should have been handled better

Photo/DailyRecord Mikael Lustig has insisted his potential departure from Celtic should have been handled better as he dropped the biggest hint yet that he is set to leave the Hoops. The 32-year-old, who is currently on international duty with Sweden, is out of contract this summer. “The last few weeks have been tough. Not on the field, but off the pitch. I am proud of how I have handled the situation and those closest to me, the players and the leaders at Celtic know what has happened. It could have been handled differently, in terms of what has been said and what happened,” said Lustig. Lusting answered “no comment” when asked if he was disappointed with how the club hierarchy had dealt with the situation. The Sweden international has won 16 major trophies in almost eight years at Parkhead.
