Paatelainen uses Deek as a Celtic aversion therapy

the Edinburgh club's captain, Gary Caldwell, and whilst Caldwell and Brown

are Celtic first team regulars young Derek found it extremely difficult to make the transition and spent two frustrating years of his career on the outside of the top team looking in.

It had all looked so different when Riordan, one of the country's brightest

young prospects, moved to Celtic Park in 2006 and Hibernian boss Mixu

Paatelainen hopes that Fletcher will learn from his tale that the grass is not

always greener - even on the green side of Glasgow.

Celtic travel to Edinburgh for Sunday's SPL fixture on the back of twelve

straight domestic wins and Paatelainen knows that if the champions are

interested in his star player then he'll possibly need Deeks' help to repel any

bid from them "Derek is an example to Fletch. He was at Celtic for two years

and was, more or less, frozen out altogether." he said "He had a miserable

time. It doesn't always work. It doesn't mean the player is bad, there are

sometimes just reasons why it doesn't click and it's important then to move on to surroundings where it might happen for you again. It's not the end of the world."

"It happened to Derek, a good player in Scotland, and it happens to world-class players, too." continued the much-travelled Finn "It's a matter of players waiting for the right offer and the right chance. If a bigger club comes in for any player, offering big financial gain, they are going to be excited. Whether it's the right time to go. Well, some moves don't work out. A player can even go backwards."

Gary Caldwell remembers Fletcher as one of the Easter Road boys "Steven was just a kid when I was at Hibs," he said, "but you could see he had the potential to play at a high level. He is already a handful, but I think he is going to get even better and will play for a really big club in the future."

"Unfortunately for Deek it didn't happen for him at Celtic and he has moved

back to Hibs." added the Celtic defender "Everyone goes about their life in their own way. He is enjoying his football and scoring goals again. I'm sure he will bounce back in his own way."

"I just think he enjoys it at Hibs." continued Caldwell "The fans love him, he is an Edinburgh lad who was brought up supporting Hibs. As soon as he went back he started scoring goals again and I'm sure he will do so for a long time for them."

The love from those fans won't be extended to Caldwell if past visits to Easter Road are anything to go by. Gary insists that the hostile reception he usually recieves from the Hibs home support actually encourages him "I enjoy it. It spurs you on when you get that abuse and you want to show that you are achieving something and kicking on from when you were at the club." he said.
