Emilio Arturo Izaguirre Girón (Spanish pronunciation: [eˈmiljo iθaˈɣire]; born 10 May 1986) is a Honduran footballer who plays as a left back for Scottish Premiership side Celtic and for the Honduras national team.
He started his career at Motagua, where he stayed for seven years. In 2010, Celtic spent £650,000 to sign him, and he picked up four major player awards in the 2010–11, first season in Scotland. He has played over 200 games across all competitions for Celtic, winning honours including six consecutive league titles.
A full international with 88 caps since his debut in 2007, Izaguirre has represented his country at two World Cups and the 2007 Gold Cup.
Izaguirre began his career at Motagua in the Honduran League. He made his league debut on 20 March 2004 in the 3–0 victory over Universidad in Danlí.
On 22 July 2008, he had a 17-day trial with English Championship outfit Ipswich Town, but was unable to play in any matches, having not received international clearance from Motagua. He therefore failed to win a contract and the move fell through. The following April, he was close to a move to Belgium's RSC Anderlecht.
In July 2010, it was reported that Toronto FC of Major League Soccer were interested in signing Izaguirre to a designated player contract, after two stand out performances in the CONCACAF Champions League against the Canadian side, but this move did not happen either.
