LIEL ABADA had no doubts he could cope with the demands of Celtic.
And the Israeli ace reckons he's now ready to live out a childhood dream by heading into the elite ranks of the Champions League.
Abada emerged as a hero for Ange Postecoglou during a phenomenal opening campaign in Glasgow.
Aged just 19, the winger was one of the first through the door in the Aussie's rebuild after signing from Maccabi Petah Tikva for £3.5million.
Abada had heaps of pressure and responsibility placed on to his young shoulders but handled it superbly with a debut goal against Midtjylland signalling his intent for the remainder of the campaign.
No one played more games in the run to the Premiership title than the youngster.
Abada's 36 appearances put him top of the list and his goals and assists were a feature of the club's triumphant campaign.
His work was recognised outside of Parkhead with his peers voting him PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year to cap a staggering first term.
