On This Day: The captain of Liverpool strikes a magnificent free kick for Celtic

Virgil Van Dijk hit an amazing free kick on this day in 2014. The Liverpool captain utilized his time at Celtic to grow into the formidable defender he is now, and Celtic fans had no qualms about his skills—especially after such goals.

The Dutchman’s incredible free kick against a hopeless Hibs team stole the show, even if Kris Commons scored twice and Teemu Pukki added one.

 

Van Dijk played football in Europe, participating in the Champions League group stages in 2013 and the Europa League Last 32 the following year. He won two Premiership titles at Glasgow and the League Cup under Ronny Deila & Collins. Van Dijk then made a £12 million transfer to Southampton, and two years later, a £75 million move to Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool made him the most expensive defender in the world. During that period, he won the Champions League championship and assisted Liverpool in winning the elusive Premier League in 2020. This year, VVD plans to target more trophies for the Reds.
