"Best atmosphere, I'd have to say Celtic Park. To play at Celtic in 2006, we actually lost the game 1-0, but to play there and feel that atmosphere was incredible. It's probably one of my regrets, not playing for Celtic at some point."
"Rangers away in 2010, I think it was. I'd played there for Everton in a pre-season game and I'm a big Celtic fan. I went to Ibrox to watch the Old Firm, to watch Celtic there, sat in the Celtic end, so I think they were aware of that. They battered me. It was a real hostile performance."
"Just growing up as a kid, I've always liked Celtic. When I was growing up there... I think it's well known and I've put out there that I'm a Celtic fan. It's probably one of my regrets, not playing for Celtic at some point."
Wayne Rooney, the former Manchester United and England star, reflects on his career with one significant regret: never playing for Celtic. Though he played 559 games for Manchester United and earned 120 England caps, Rooney had plotted ending his career at Celtic Park but it never materialized. A lifelong Celtic supporter, Rooney experienced the club's exceptional atmosphere during a 2006 match and considers it the best he encountered. He also recalls a hostile 2010 visit to Rangers as an away player, where he felt personal animosity from supporters aware of his Celtic allegiance. Despite his legendary status at other clubs, playing for Celtic remains an unfulfilled dream.
