Spartak Moscow's McGeady thrilled ahead of Celtic return

Aiden McGeady is looking forward to returning to Glasgow with Russian club Spartak Moscow.

The former Celtic winger will be back at Celtic Park in December when Spartak take on the Bhoys in the final game of the Champions League group stage.

McGeady rose to prominence with Celtic and admits it will be nice to again play in front of the Parkhead fans.

"I'm delighted with the draw and it will be great to be back," he told Celtic's official website.

"I've been back a few times to Celtic Park as a fan to watch games, so to go back as a player will be a different experience, but it's one that I'm looking forward to.

"I'm still in contact with people at the club and I've still got friends at the club but it will be strange going into the away dressing room.

"That's where I used to get changed up until I was about 18, when I was in the reserves.

"But I still follow the team and keep up-to-date with how they're doing because Celtic are still my team.

"I grew up supporting them and they're the team I grew up in."
