Albian Ajeti earns Celtic 'you can't go wrong' tag with Swiss striker praised amid uncertain future

Young Celtic striker Johnny Kenny says it's been great to learn from Albian Ajeti during his first six months at Parkhead.

The Swiss forward hasn't featured in a competitive game for boss Ange Postecoglou since last year's Europa League group match with Real Betis and is reported to have been deemed surplus to requirements. Alas, Ajeti featured in the club's pre-season friendly of the season, a 7-0 victory over Austrian side Wiener Viktoria. Kenny grabbed two in the first half while Reo Hatate, Christopher Jullien, James Forrest, Mikey Johnston and Rocco Vata also scored for Celtic.

Since moving to Parkhead in 2020 from West Ham, he has netted nine times in 48 matches and three of those goals came last season.
