Rubin Kazan sporting director Oleg Yarovinsky has hailed Sead Haksabanovic's move to Celtic as "a miracle" for the Russian club.
The Montenegro winger joined the Parkhead side for a reported €2million (£1.7m) last week as he answers Ange Postecoglou' s call for another versatile player who can fill multiple roles within the squad. The move comes just a year after Rubin splashed out €6.5m (£5.4m) to land him from Swedish side IFK Norrkoping, meaning they have lost more than €4m in a year on the winger.
But Yarovinsky admits with the financial difficulties at the club, recouping even that fee can be considered "miraculous." Russian football finds itself in a state of disarray with clubs having been banned from UEFA competition due to the ongoing crisis in Ukraine and Yaronivsky admits it's a major relief to bank any cash for Haksabanovic.
