CELTIC hero Beram Kayal has announced his immediate retirement from football at the age of 37.
Former club Brighton and Hove Albion were quick to pass on their congratulations after the little Israeli midfielder made the announcement on Instagram.
They wrote: “Beram Kayal has announced his retirement from professional football.
“The midfielder formed part of the side that helped Albion gain promotion to the #PL in 2016/17. Thanks for everything, Beram!”
Kayal is at least as big a hero at Parkhead, where he won four league titles in all, two of them league and cup doubles.
There was also the small matter of his substitute appearance on the night that Neil Lennon’s men overcame Lionel Messi’s Barcelona 2-1 in the Champions League.
