Shane Duffy sends his Celtic doubters a message as defender fronts up to 'sticky patch'

Determined Shane Duffy believes he has the right mentality to end his Celtic loan stay with a rousing finale.

The 28-year-old has endured a torrid spell in Glasgow during his season-long loan from Brighton with a host of high profile errors costing his team in the Premiership and abroad.

It's a far cry to the excitement that followed his arrival in August with many fans tipping him to help deliver 10 In A Row to Parkhead.

But Duffy admits he is hell-bent on proving the naysayers wrong as the former Everton star opened up on the  Bred A Blue podcast about his time with Celtic.

He said: "If you asked me 10 years ago I probably wouldn’t have believed the career I’ve gone on and had.

"I’m proud of myself for digging in there, especially when a lot of people doubt you.

"The satisfaction of going to prove people wrong is good so I’m happy, I still feel I have a lot more in me to go and prove people wrong again.

"I’ve had a bit of a sticky patch at the minute which happens a lot of footballers.

"I feel I have the right mentality to get through it and as I said, I want to prove people wrong again and go and kick on again."
