Thought i'd add a further titbit about Marc Crosas.
Marc unfortunately is too lightweight for Scottish football, when he has defensive midfielders helping cover him he has more time to do what he does best and that is playing the ball. I'm afraid to say that in Scotland its more about physical presence than footballing skills. Annoys the life out of Celtic fans as we especially like beautiful football - hence why most Celtic supporters have a love of Barca.
Marc is a crackin bhoy and is loved by the fans and also players and management but if he wants to progress then he has to sadly leave Celtic for his own benefit.
I'm pleased to say that its obvious has Celtic also in his heart.

Celtic midfielder Marc Crosas joins FC Volga to kickstart career
• Popular Spaniard needs regular first-team football
• Celtic agree £300,000 transfer, plus sell-on clause
The Celtic midfielder Marc Crosas is on the verge of joining the Russian side FC Volga. Celtic will receive £300,000 for the former Barcelona player, with a sell-on clause likely to be part of the deal.
Crosas, 23, has struggled to make an impact at Parkhead with his last competitive start coming 11 months ago. The Spaniard has, however, remained a popular figure among the Celtic support.
Crosas has been keen to leave in order to kickstart his career with regular first-team football. The timing of the Russian transfer window has allowed such a move to take place.
Volga, who were promoted to Russia's top flight in November, are based in Nizhny Novgorod, the country's fourth largest city after Moscow, St Petersburg and Novosibirsk.
Celtic's need to move on players who are not part of Neil Lennon's long-term plans has been heightened by what the chairman John Reid described as "disappointing" financial results. The club's bank debt has increased to £9.1m with an overall profit of £7.1m in the six months to 31 December due mainly to the £9.5m sale of Aiden McGeady to Spartak Moscow.
