HE was one of Brendan Rodgers’ biggest name stars last season.
But fast-forward a few months and he was on his way out of Celtic after failing to score a single goal in 12 appearances at the mid-way point of the season.

Luis Palma, 25, left Celtic at the beginning of this month to seal a return to Greece, where he left to join the Hoops.
The Honduran was previously at Aris before Celtic spent £3.5million to bring him to Glasgow, with Rangers also on his trail before the Hoops swooped in.
He’s in the Greek Super League again but this time in Athens with the most successful club in the country – Olympiacos.
The winger made his debut earlier this month against Asteras Aktor in the league before being handed his first start the following week against Panserraikos.
He was then given the nod for his first major showdown last night – against city rivals AEK Athens in the semi-final of the cup.
Some would struggle after being thrown into the deep end for such a huge clash so soon after arriving at a club.
But the 27-year-old wasn’t fazed by the occasion as he ran the show with Olympiacos putting SIX past their rivals.
Mainstream Honduran outlet El Diario Le Prensa labelled him “unstoppable” for his performance.
It finished 6-0, with Palma scoring and providing a assist, but they haven’t booked their place in the final just.
It was just the first leg of the tie, with the return game pencilled in for April 2.
Olympiacos have all-but sealed their spot in the last two though following the shock stunning win.
Palma didn’t win any trophies in Greece with Aris but he did only spend a year-and-a-half there before Celts snapped him up.
He scored 12 goals and provided the same number of assists in 40 outings for Rodgers’ men last season.
The Honduran even netted twice in the Champions League – against Atletico Madrid and Feyenoord.
