Albian Ajeti scored but once more over the weekend to proceed his wealthy vein of type which has seen him begin to overturn the 'flop' tag he was branded with at Celtic all through his tenure in Glasgow.
Ajeti was a Neil Lennon signing again in August 2020, though behind Odsonne Edouard within the pecking order on the time, he was by no means prone to begin underneath the Northern Irishman at Parkhead. With Leigh Griffiths additionally that includes sporadically, the Switzerland worldwide was by no means prone to blossom until the departure of both of the aforementioned pair got here to fruition.
Nonetheless, Lennon's sacking again in February 2021 on account of a spate of poor performances resulted in a lacklustre Celtic facet crawling over the road into second place by the tip of the season, 28 factors behind Rangers. Ange Postecoglou got here to the fore - and while he gave Ajeti an opportunity alongside Giorgos Giakoumakis and Kyogo Furuhashi, it was clear that he was out of favour underneath the Aussie.
Simply 5 begins in all competitions final season noticed him determined for a transfer away from the membership; add Liel Abada and Daizen Maeda into the combo as potential entrance males, and it was clear to see why Ajeti opted for a transfer to Austrian facet Sturm Graz over the summer time on a loan-to-buy foundation.
And beginning his spell on the Stadion Graz-Liebenau in very good trend, Ajeti doubled his tally to make it two objectives in 5 with a well-taken winner within the 3-2 win over Wolfsberger AC to maintain the south-eastern facet inside touching distance of giants RB Salzburg.
With one other two years left on his Celtic deal, might we nonetheless see Ajeti run riot in a Celtic shirt if Kyogo or Giakoumakis transfer elsewhere by the tip of subsequent summer time's switch window, ought to Postecoglou want to give him one last likelihood? His pedigree is obvious to see.
