Player career

Ramon Vega played at FC Trimbach when he was a junior and started his professional career in 1990 at Grasshopper Club Zurich , with whom he won the Swiss Football Championship in 1991, 1995 and 1996 and the Swiss Cup in 1994 . In 1996, after the third championship title, he ventured abroad and went to Italy to Cagliari Calcio . There he stayed only six months and was signed in January 1997 by the English first division club Tottenham Hotspur for a sum of 3.75 million pounds. In his debut season for Spurs, he came to eight games and scored one goal against Aston Villa , but Vega was also sent off in the game against Nottingham Forest and the next season he played more in the foreground as the Swiss one of the regulars which became White Hart Lane .

In 1999 he won the League Cup with the Spurs after defeating Leicester City 1-0 in the final. But Vega didn't play as convincingly as before and in December 2000 the Spurs sent him on loan to the traditional Scottish club Celtic Glasgow . At Celtic he lived up to his role and was used in 18 league games in which the Swiss scored two goals. He played the most successful season of his career and won the national triple with Celtic in 2000/01 consisting of the Scottish Premier League , Scottish FA Cup and Scottish League Cup .

In June 2001 he went back to the Spurs, but there no more plans with him and Vega decided to leave the club. A few days later, he signed a contract with Watford FC , which was then playing in the second-rate Football League First Division . Although Vega had a good start to the season and also scored several goals, he was no longer considered towards the end of the season and left the team after a year. His last post as a professional was the US Créteil , where he played another season and then retired from professional football.

He played 23 international matches for the Swiss national soccer team and scored one goal. He took part with the national team in the 1996 European Football Championship and was eliminated from the tournament with one point from three games as the bottom of the group.
