Sead Haksabanovic knows his Celtic time will come as he sends message to Ange over starting chances

Sead Haksabanovic has opened up on battling with Jota and Daizen Maeda over their Celtic starting spots by telling his teammates - 'I am waiting for my chance'.

Haksabanovic signed for Celtic from Rubin Kazan in the summer transfer window, with the star adding to Jota, Liel Abada, Daizen Maeda and James Forrest in Ange Postecoglou's array of wing talent. Despite his move, the Montenegro international has found starting spots hard to come by, mustering just five starts in the league whilst registering seven goal contributions in 614 minutes of league play - one every 87 minutes for the Hoops.

Jota and Maeda have been the main duo that the Australian boss has gone with throughout the season - with Abada only registering 10 starts in the league and Forrest equalling Haksabanovic's total. But the 23-year-old has not given up any hopes of ousting his way into one of the first names on the teamsheet - telling his boss and teammates he is 'waiting for his opportunity'.
