Darren Fletcher:

"I was spotted by United when I was playing for Celtic Boys
Club when I was about 12 and I started coming down during
school holidays. I kept doing that until I signed for the
club on my 16th birthday. The manager had a big involvement
in me coming here. Every time I came down he went out of his
way to make sure my family and I felt welcome. That was
brilliant.

"I grew up going to Celtic with my uncle who had a box at
Celtic Park. He bought me a season ticket one year and I
went along for two or three seasons.”
