Celtic legend Stiliyan Petrov has named his dream five-a-side team.
The midfielder spent seven successful years at Parkhead, winning four league titles, two Scottish Cups, and as many Scottish League Cups. He was also part of the team that reached the 2003 UEFA Cup final in Seville.
Petrov played alongside a wealth of Celtic greats, ranging from Chris Sutton to Neil Lennon.

He was recently asked to pick his dream five-a-side team, consisting only of his old teammates from his time at Parkhead: "Goalkeeper, I'll go for Artur Boruc," he said [Premier Sports].
"Defender, I'll go with Bobo Balde. You need presence and you need physicality. He brings that.
"Midfielders, I'll go with Roy Keane and Shunsuke Nakamura. Roy Keane has leadership and quality.
"Nakamura has a little bit more creativity. He's a very intelligent player.
"Up top, you need goals. You won't be surprised who I'm going to pick; the king - Henrik Larsson."
Petrov departed Celtic in 2006 for Aston Villa.
He recently likened current star Reo Hatate to himself: "I love him (Hatate)," said the Bulgarian.
"You can ask me anything about him. I love everything about him.
"He reminds me a little bit of me. He puts his head down. Sometimes he has his critics, but he always bounces back.
"He works really hard. Every game is 100%. He's got that intelligence to find the space to score great goals.
"The other day against Kilmarnock, he was brilliant. He scored one of the best goals of the season. You don't see many of these goals now, especially with midfielders.
"Every team tries to be perfect, but he takes the risk. He gets in the right position. He's reliable, which I love about him."
