Celtic Career Review
Following his successful period at Dundee, Douglas moved to Celtic in Martin O'Neill's first season in charge for around £1.5m. As the first-choice goalkeeper Douglas received mixed reviews, with many fans criticising his frequent gaffes, infamously allowing a tame Mikel Arteta strike trickle through his fingers to open the scoring in the 3-3 draw at Celtic Park in October, 2002.
Douglas' finest hour is widely considered to be the UEFA Cup third round tie against Valencia in 2001. Although the first leg in the Mestalla finished 1-0 to the hosts, Douglas pulled off a string of saves to keep Valencia at bay.
Douglas also played his part in the team that would make its way to the UEFA cup final in 2003, despite the new presence of Magnus Hedman at the club. In 2004, Douglas was sent off at half-time in the UEFA cup match against Barcelona, handing promising keeper David Marshall his competitive debut.
After weeks of speculation, Douglas announced that he was leaving the club after the Scottish Cup win in 2005. He also made 19 appearances for Scotland, the last of which came against Italy in 2005.
