Bosun Lawal spent a season away from Celtic on loan at English League One Fleetwood Town.
Regular readers of this site will know that we’ve been closely following his performances in the south and it turns out that, despite the relegation with The Cods, Lawal’s time at the club has been a great fortune for audiences under Charlie Adam.

Lawal’s versatility was also put to the test, as Adam used him in central midfield, the centre of defence and even any of the full-back positions.
The 20-year-old posted an emotional message for Fleetwood, staff and enthusiasts and it’s clear that the youngster enjoyed his time there.
Posting a teaser on Instagram, Lawal said: “Thank you so much to my teammates, my coach and all the staff. My first full season in senior football had its ups and downs, but I will return to Celtic as a more potent player. “player because of the other people around me.
“Fleetwood is a special club with special fans and there is no doubt that they will return to their place.
“Up with the cod?❤️”
Lawal has garnered rave reviews for his performances throughout the season, but now plans to make his mark on Celtic Brendan Rodgers when he returns to the club this summer.
The Fleetwood boss inherited Lawal after taking the reins of the previous season from Scott Brown.
However, that didn’t stop him from recognizing that he had a special ability on his hands. Adam, appointed manager in December, has faced the youngster in every single game (except one in which he missed the Reading game in February) for a full 90 minutes. , with the exception of the last game of the season.
Substituted in the 83rd minute in the 3-0 win over Burton Albion, Lawal had the chance to say goodbye to the fans. [Transfer Market]
But the former Rangers midfielder has no doubt that Lawal has what it takes at Celtic.
Adam said earlier this season [Balls. ie]: “Unfortunately he’s not our player, he’s a Celtic player, but it’s a real privilege to have him. He’s a quality player, he dominated the game. His strength, his strength and it was a strike.
“The longer he stays in the building for us, from now until the end of the season, he will definitely make a difference for our team.
“He’s a very sensible talent, but with the adventure we’re making and the help we can give him, he’ll come back to Celtic next season and compete for a place because I think he’s been given the right. “credentials to be a Celtic player. “
A true measure of the good luck of a player’s stay at a club is the reaction of the fans when they leave the club.
