Celtic could be set to offload misfit striker Albian Ajeti for good after Sturm Graz revealed they will soon open talks about signing the Swiss in a £2.1 million deal.
Ajeti moved on the last day of the summer transfer window with the Austrian club securing him on a season-long loan with an option to buy him on a long-term deal.

Now sports director Andreas Schicker has confirmed the timescale for a decision to be made about the 26-year-old. He said: "The situation with Albian Ajeti is still open.
