Former Celtic striker Charlie Nicholas has claimed he is "not particularly welcomed" back at Parkhead.
The pundit revealed he wouldn't return to the club for a match and head through the main entrance after his criticism of the club.
Nicholas previously called out Celtic chiefs leading to a "touchy relationship" with the ex-Arsenal and Aberdeen forward unsure of his standing with supporters.
The pundit has returned for matches as a punter when Ange Postecoglou was manager but hasn't returned since despite three of his brothers-in-law being season ticket holders.
"I went back to watch Celtic," Nicholas said speaking on William Hill's The Warm Up. "I have four brother-in-laws, three are season ticket holders at Celtic. And they started saying 'look, we have an occasional ticket if you want to sit in and watch the game with us'. It's right opposite where the teams come out (north stand).

"And Big Ange came up to Celtic and I thought 'I like this', I went back and watched the team a couple of times, I was quite excited about it. I haven't really been back since Ange left, although I think they are playing some fabulous football, so I would be tempted.
"I don't attempt to go through the main door, because I am not particularly welcomed. I don't know (if he'd be mobbed upon a public return), it's still a touchy relationship between some Celtic fans and me, not from my side, whether it's I've criticised the club at the wrong time and they didn't like, it's only an opinion guys, it's not personal.
"Predominantly, the older guys, of my generation, enjoy the status that I created at Celtic, I enjoyed it as much as they enjoyed it. I am blessed to be part of the Celtic history."
Nicholas had two spells at Celtic, first between 1979 and 1983 and then again from 1990 to 1995.
