PICS: A Lionel Messi lookalike is on trial at Celtic

If you can't get the real thing, a convincing lookalike will often do.

It's worked for Limerick, who hit the headlines with Neymar lookalike Barry Cotter. And when Gareth Bale left Tottenham, a very familiar figure emerged in the form of Kenneth McEvoy. Now it's the turn of Celtic. After a decade of hoping and praying, it looks like they've finally given up on signing Lionel Messi. How do we know? Well, they've handed a trial to Slaven Belupo midfielder Ljuban Crepulja, who bears more than a passing resemblance to the Argentine superstar. https://twitter.com/90MinuteCynic/status/690540823218372608 Can he make the same impact as Messi? Almost certainly not, but the resemblance is uncanny.
