✍️ Few men in football know new Celtic signing Camilo Duran quite like Ricardo Pessoa. They worked together for three years in Portugal and have a relationship akin to that of a father and his son. Pessoa brought Duran to Europe – specifically the fifth tier in Portugal – and then signed him at Portimonense in the country's second division. "The relationship we have is like a father and a son," Pessoa told The Celtic Way. "I spoke to him two days ago. I said you should move to Celtic because this is one of the most important clubs in Europe. "When I had Camilo, I always played him as a right winger. He has a great left foot and [the ability] to go for goal with it. "He has great movement as well in and around the box, so he can play as a striker too." @JoshMcCafferty7. ⤵️ 🔗 celticway.co.uk/interviews/262…
