The winger found the net 13 times last season, to take his Celtic tally to 28 in the Hoops.

And despite a summer full of speculation he hasn’t allowed himself to be distracted on the pitch – or off it.
Indeed his pre-season performance has been picture perfect – from Japan to back home at Parkhead.
He helped the Hoops end pre-season with a win after a much improved second half showing against Athletic Club in James Forrest’s testimonial.
Abada was cheered on by gorgeous Wag Bar Rashti – and she was even happier than the Hoops crowd with the result thanks to the romantic winger’s off-field gesture for his model girlfriend.
He sent her cute messages back from Japan while the Hoops took on Yokohama F.Marinos and Gamba Osaka as she updated her Instagram profile with beautiful Barbie-esque poses.
After he gushed over her profile last month the Israeli wide man gifted her a bouquet of red roses this week.
And his grand gesture melted his partner’s heart.
Rashti replied: “I love you Liel Abada” and the message was seen by her 16,000 followers.
She also filmed herself cheering her man onto the pitch against the La Liga outfit on Tuesday night.
He replaced man of the moment James Forrest in the second half as Celtic rounded off pre-season with a win.
Abada had Rashti firmly in mind despite the 5000-miles between them on the club’s Asian tour too and he sent a message back saying she looked unreal and wrote: “There is no such thing as you”.
Others compared her glam pose to Barbie and suggested the Israeli beauty would give Margot Robbie a run for her money.
They asked: “Why didn’t they cast you in a Barbie movie?”
Another dubbed her: “The most beautiful Barbie there is.”
A third replied “Perfection” to the photo which was posted in Eilat, southern Israel.
Rashti had been labelled the “most beautiful woman in the world” after wowing fans with some racy holiday poses.
She enjoyed a sun-kissed break with her footballer in Mykonos, Greece, and posed in a barely-there blue and pink bikini while lying on a lounger before showing off her figure with a stunning pic while inside their hotel room.
