Marko Baša (Serbian Cyrillic: Марко Баша) (born December 29, 1982 in Trstenik, Serbia, SFR Yugoslavia) is a Serbian football player. He currently plays for the Scottish Premier League club Celtic.
International career
He was part of the Serbian and Montenegrin 2004 Olympic football team that exited in the first round, finishing fourth in Group C behind gold-medal winners Argentina, Australia and Tunisia.
Since the dissolution of Serbia-Montenegro state union, Baša's international loyalty remains unclear. He received a call-up from Serbia national team against Czech Republic on 16 August, 2006 (first match since Montenegro left the state union)[1], but did not show up - apparently because of an injury. Since then, his international loyalty was often a subject of press speculation, but he did not receive any more official call-ups from Serbia.
In March 2007 he was frequently quoted in Montenegrin press (namely Vijesti daily) saying that he wants to play for Montenegro, but he made himself unavailable for their inaugural match on March 24, 2007 due to, as he said, "objective circumstances".[2]
Then, in late May he apparently did not respond to Montenegrin football officials' attempts to get in touch with him and as a result he wasn't included in the team that went to Japan to play in Kirin Cup.[3]
Finally, Baša received a call-up from Montenegro for their friendly against Slovenia on August 22, 2007. Montenegro national team coach Zoran Filipović is on the record saying that Baša won't be receiving any more call-ups if he doesn't show up for Slovenia friendly. Baša not only failed to show up for the match, but apparently didn't even bother contacting the Montenegrin football federation officials.
There's now renewed press speculation that he'll play for Serbia, although no official announcements either from Serbian FA or the player have been made.
Personal Life
He is half-Montenegrin from his father's side, who is from Rijeka Crnojevića in the Cetinje municipality in Montenegro. His mother is a Serb from Trstenik.
Celtic
On August 5, 2008 Baša signed for Celtic from Le Mans on a long-term contract for an undisclosed fee.
