A lot of my family follow Liverpool, including my dad Tero and my uncle. In Finland I would say Liverpool is the biggest team, it started in the 1980s with the games on the TV. And then obviously they have had two Finland legends in Jari Litmanen and Sami Hyypia.
I didn't really adapt to Scottish football well, but I enjoyed my time there. The physical nature and the pace of the game was a big thing, and many of the teams defended really deep against Celtic so there was not so much space to run in behind. That's a big part of my game, so that was one thing as well.
I have great memories of playing in the Champions League at Celtic Park. That was something I will never forget, and of course we won a championship and that's something no-one can take away from me.
I like it in Denmark. The league is very good and all the teams are of a similar standard.
Both of my parents sacrificed a lot. My dad, Tero, would drive me to training every single day. My mum, Teija, came to Seville to help me. She did everything for me. It was such a big place to go at 17. Even if you can speak English, it doesn't matter there. It was all Spanish. They don't do English.
Neil Lennon was a great manager; he really got your team in the mood and wanting to play for him.
To live abroad you have to grow up quickly.
I will always keep my feet on the ground.
When I played in Germany there was also a good atmosphere in the games but this is better at Celtic.
Daniel Farke is so good, a man-manager - he is calm but he can shout if he thinks I'm not working.
I always try not to read anything of people talking about me, but of course you can still feel pressure at the stadium, during the games, if you don't play well.
When I do defensive work well it always helps my offensive game.
A lot of Finnish people are laid-back and quiet and that's how I am. I've never seen any reason to change myself.
If I see someone that's too arrogant, that's not how I was raised.
As a young guy I was really shy, more shy than I am now.
Physically I was not strong enough to play at Celtic and I know myself it was not my best time as a football player, for sure.
Growing up in Finland, ice hockey was the main sport. But I never played that. I went with footy. I never had any other hobbies.
Since I was a young boy, it was about playing football, always as a striker, never another position.
My favourite team was always Barcelona. When I was young, I went to see them, my first ever big game. Jari Litmanen was playing there at the time. In Finland, Litmanen is a big hero for all of us.
Those years in Denmark changed my game and how I played football.
