FORMER Rangers star Alejandro Bedoya last night vowed to dump Celtic out of the Champions League – as revenge for Hoops fans trashing his car.
The American midfielder has joined Helsingborgs on a short-term deal after quitting the Ibrox club.
But he’s guaranteed a swift return to Scotland after the Swedish champs drew Neil Lennon’s side in the play-off round for the Champions League. Celtic head to Sweden next week for the first leg before a return clash at Parkhead a week later.
And the 25-year-old plans to heap pain on the Hoops supporters who laid waste to his car last season.
Bedoya told a Swedish newspaper: “I was a sub in a derby at Parkhead so I can tell Helsingborgs about the atmosphere of hatred coming down from the stands.
“I had my car damaged by Celtic fans but these things happen. I will be extra ready and have promised my old pals at Rangers to do one last thing for them by knocking Celtic out.
“I got a lot of messages from Rangers friends. They told me: ‘Knock Celtic out of the Champions League.’”
Bedoya, who joined Gers from Swedish side Orebro last year, faces a fight to prove his fitness ahead of next Tuesday’s first leg.
And that game, which kicks off at 7.45pm, will be screened live on STV.
