Celtic's senior stars were 'absolute pr*cks', says ex-striker Beattie

The former West Brom and Swansea journeyman says that he feels the 'make-or-break' environment at the Scottish club was a culture shock for too many

Former Celtic striker Craig Beattie has disclosed that several of his senior team-mates were 'absolute pr*cks' during his formative years at the club - but that he believes the tough-love approach helped make him as a player.

The one-time Scotland international, who swapped to the Hoops from cross-city rivals Rangers as a boy during his youth days, spent the first four years of his career at Celtic Park following his debut in 2003.
