Alexandre Guimaraes had a successful career with Deportivo Saprissa winning three national championships, scoring 95 goals in 377 appearances.

It was only natural, then that his son Celso Borges would begin his youth career with the Saprissa. After a successful spell at Saprissa, Celso had spells in Norway and Sweden with Fredrikstad FK and AIK respectively.

His impressive performances earned him a move to La Liga outfit Deportivo de La Coruna. He is currently on books of Turkish Super Lig club Goztepe.

Adding to his exploits at the club level, Celso has also represented his country, Costa Rica at two World Cups- 2014 and 2018.
