The Italian was a polarising figure during his blockbuster spell with the Parkhead side.
Paolo Di Canio has opened up on his blockbuster spell at Celtic and the fallout that led him to say "Ciao Ciao" to his Parkhead stint.
Di Canio's disagreements with Fabio Capello that led to his Celtic arrival are well documented, as was his contract tete-a-tete with then Hoops chairman Fergus McCann and general manager Jock Brown but the 55-year-old has pulled no punches in conversation with radio host Simon Jordan.
"I used to play Subbuteo when I was younger with this incredible shirt I had never seen before, the green and white, I say I will go. I didn't have one moment where I maybe thought - I went there in August and it was already cold - someone would say I should go back to Italy. But I said I want to be here, to stay here because with this weather I can fight better. I can play. It was the warmest welcome from the fans which made all the difference.
