# Celtic: Fans discuss Freddie Ljungberg’s career at the club

**Many Celtic fans slated former Hoops player Freddie Ljungberg after [Celtic1967.com](https://twitter.com/Celtic1967_com/status/1261944545777872901?s=20) asked for fans to sum up the midfielder using one word on Twitter.**

When the Swede signed for the Scottish club on a free transfer from the MLS in 2011, he seemed an impressive coup due to his career in the Premier League at Arsenal, where he won two Premier Leagues and three FA Cups, as per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/freddie-ljungberg/erfolge/spieler/3134).

However, Hoops fans were not going to see much of Ljungberg in the green and white as he managed only eight appearances during his one season at the club, as per [thecelticwiki](https://www.thecelticwiki.com/page/Ljungberg%2C+Freddie), and did not contribute to any goals in that time.

The attacking midfielder retired four years later, as per [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/freddie-ljungberg/erfolge/spieler/3134), so maybe some fans expected too much from a player in the twilight of his career. However, it has not stopped numerous supporters from criticising his time at the club back in the 2011/12 campaign.

Here is what these Celtic fans said following the tweet:
