Former Celtic star Kris Commons has told Josip Juranovic and Giorgos Giakoumakis they may quickly realise there's nothing like Parkhead.
The duo are likely heading for the exit door this month with the Croatia international poised for a £7million move to Monza in the coming days. And Greek international Giakoumakis is being chased by a host of clubs but it appears J-League side Urawa Red Diamonds are confident of winning the race for his signature.
Commons shared a dressing room with a clutch of players who left for money-spinning moves but admits life after Glasgow's east end is often too much for some stars to overcome. Speaking in his Daily Mail column, he said: "Josip Juranovic and Giorgos Giakoumakis look as if they're heading for the Celtic exit. I just hope they're going for the right reasons. The day he left Celtic, Joe Ledley walked out of Lennoxtown in tears. He didn't want to leave to move to Crystal Palace, he was almost forced into it.
"Moving to Glasgow was a big deal for Kelvin Wilson. He got homesick for Nottingham when he was playing in Preston. But then he was playing in the Champions League against Barcelona and playing in the Europa League and winning titles.
"Kelvin had a young child down in Nottingham and eventually he went back to Nottingham Forest. But he didn't realise how big it was until he was gone. I remember him saying: 'I think I've made a mistake. There is nothing like Celtic.' The trouble is that, once you've gone, you've gone."
