Samaras: I was never leaving

02 Sep 2010 - 15:30:43

Celtic striker Georgios Samaras has admitted he had no desire to leave the club before the transfer window deadline on Tuesday.

The Greece international was heavily linked with a move away from Glasgow, but he wants to help the Bhoys grab domestic honours this term.

"I would love to play and stay at Celtic rather than go to a club in Italy or Germany to fight for 10th or 11th position." he said.

"When you finish the season, you have done nothing apart from winning enough games to stay in the middle of the table.

"That is the reason why Celtic are a great club, as you can be in the history. That's important for us to understand as players and a team, and hopefully we can make something good this year.

"I am away from my country, family and friends and everyone but I just feel really well here.

"I like the city. It's hard to explain. I really like being here. To be honest, I have a lot of friends here in Glasgow and there are people who speak the same language as me as well.

"I feel comfortable here. That's the reason that the world of rumours of changing clubs never passed through my mind, because that is negative and I want to stay here."
