BRITTNEY HOCKLEY and Benjamin Siegrist are a Celtic love story made in Sydney.
The keeper moved to Rapid Bucharest in the summer, ending two years at the Hoops – a spell where he rarely played, but met his future wife.

Aussie radio host Hockley and the Swiss stopper are due to be married within the next year she revealed on her ‘Life Uncut’ podcast.
However revealed she’s just learned a REVOLTING habit of her long-distance lover, just months before they tie the knot.
It all stems from their nightly Facetime calls between Romania and Australia.
And a new superfood Siegrist has just discovered in the Romanian capital.
Hockley explained: “Just last night I got a new ick from Ben,
“He always sits down with his tub of yoghurt when we FaceTime each other but this time it was a bit chunky.
“I asked him what he was eating and he said it was cottage cheese.”
This revelation startled Hockley’s podcast partner Laura Byrne and producer Keeshia Pettit.
She went on: “Ben told me he had ‘just discovered it, loves it and buys them in bulk.’
“He says it’s high protein, he loves it and has 25 tubs in the fridge.
“He ate it raw, out of the tub… but I just think it’s revolting.”
Pettit said: “The Swiss have some interesting food habits!”
Byrne added: “He should undiscover that pretty quick! I doesn’t surprise me though, elite athletes eat the weirdest sh** – like raw eggs and stuff.
“I can see it in him. I’m not as offended as you are though.”
The couple met while Celtic were on their mid-season break competing in the Sydney Super Cup Down Under.
Since then they’ve continued dating over long-distances and Hockely dropped in on Celtic Park several times to catch up with her back-up keeper beau.
Now they are due to be married after Siegrist popped the question on a summer visit to exotic Hamilton Island.

Now the arrangements for the big day are being firmed up – and time is of the essence.
Hockley added: “I’m going on a super quick trip, four days in Bali…we are going to look at a couple of venues. I know the one I want, but I don’t know if it’s going to be available.

“And I think we’re doing a food tasting as well at a venue I don’t even want, but we love a tasting.
“We only have one time of the year we can get married, and it’s not that long away. It’s under a year.”
