Brave Emilio Izaguirre is considering crossing the divide of one of footballs most poisonous rivalries and signing for Honduran side Olimpia - despite being injured by their rampaging fans during riots less than a year ago.
The defender had two spells at Celtic, which yielded 12 trophies, including seven Scottish Premiership titles, before the emergence of Kieran Tierney forced him into a supporting role.
The 34-year-old is out of contract at first club Motagua and faces an uncertain future.
But he's considering signing for the club's great rivals, Olimpia, who were involved in a shocking riot earlier this season, which Izaguirre was caught up in.
He was treated at a hospital in the Honduran capital Tegucigalpa after his team bus was attacked before Motagua's explosive showdown with Olimpia.
Izaguirre got shreds of glass in his eye, but insisted he was fine after the attack and there was no lasting damage.
Four people died and several were injured, including two of Izaguirre's team mates - Roberto Moreira and Jonathan Rougier - in the violence, which lasted for hours, with the game eventually being postponed.
However, he could now make the controversial transfer between the huge Central American rivals.
Olimpia president Rafael Villeda said: "Emilio is an extraordinary player and the doors of Olimpia are always open to great players like him.
"If Motagua decide they don't want to offer him a new contract, then he would be very welcome here."
