Former Celtic striker, Chris Sutton, has raised eyebrows by questioning Celtic’s decision not to sign Bojan Miovski.
During Celtic’s 1-1 draw against Aberdeen, Miovski’s opening goal for the Dons not only sparked frustration from Hoops supporters but also begs the question: why didn’t Celtic sign Miovski?
Chris Sutton on commentary added another layer of intrigue to the moment as he remarked (Sky Sports): “There’ll be Celtic fans thinking, we were linked with him weren’t we.”
Sutton’s words resonate with many Celtic supporters who couldn’t help but recall the transfer rumours surrounding Miovski in previous windows. As the ball found the back of the net, it wasn’t just a goal; it was a reminder of the speculation that had surrounded the player and the potential interest from the Hoops.
The goal itself, securing a point for Aberdeen in the match, was a disappointing moment for the Celtic defence. With both Alexandro Bernabei and Liam Scales caught up the pitch, Miovski was able to take full advantage, yet again highlighting weaknesses in the Celtic defence.
The club’s failure to sign a left-back during the January transfer window was there for all to see, as Bernabei started in place of Greg Taylor due to his calf strain injury.
Celtic face Hibernian on Wednesday at Celtic Park, and Brendan Rodgers will be hopeful that his team can bounce back after dropping two points in the Scottish Premiership title race.
