Luis Palma has revealed how he hired a psychologist to help him in his career and his personal life when he was at Celtic.
The Honduran winger has been sent on loan to Poland with Lech Poznan and has already made his debut for his new club.
Despite starting well after signing for Celtic, his form dipped and he was shipped out on loan last season as well to Olympiacos in Greece, but failed to make an impact there either.
And Palma, in an interview in Poland, revealed he had to sort out issues on and off the pitch.
He said: "I clearly made mistakes as a person, as a footballer, but I've always said I'm a human being before I'm a player.

"So you have to know how to handle things at home before anything else.
"I hired a psychologist and I am continuing my appointments with him. He's helped me a lot in the last three years, which have changed my life.
"I worked on knowing how to handle pressure and fame with a psychologist. It's very important in life to have someone like this to talk to about problems at home and in football.
"People always see a happy face, but no one knows what's going on behind your back.
"There may be problems, any number of things, but they only see the reflection of a footballer and they kill you when you don't score a goal, miss a pass, or don't play well."
