Mikael Lustig was taking part in a Q&A a short time ago on Celtic’s official Twitter account and answering fans questions.
The Swedish right-back had the usual silly questions and funny answers, but there was one question and answer that stood out.
One person asked about his failed career as a pirate, the Swede had a great reply:
.@K9Dug ML: When I went for the role in Pirates and it went to Johnny Depp, I thought, I'll try football next! #AskLustig

When asked who the best players he has ever played with were the 28-year-old had this to say:
.@Fresh_EU_ ML: @Ibra_official. With Celtic, there is a few… @FraserForster, @VictorWanyama & @VirgilvDijk #AskLustig

It’s no surprise that he picked players that have moved on from Celtic to the Premier League in recent years, ironically all to Southampton.
Lustig played alongside Wanyama and Forster at Celtic during a very successful spell in Europe when they beat Barcelona and reached the last-16 of the Champions League.
He also played alongside Dutch defender van Dijk in the Champions League group stages and in the last-32 of the Europa League against Inter Milan last year.
In the dressing room, you always expect one player to get a lot of stick and Lustig also revealed who that was in hilarious fashion:
.@DtvRICKIHANLON ML: @Leighgriff09 no explanation required….
