I have no view or interest in whether it’s true or not I’m just stating that There were allegations to that effect unless I’m much mistaken I don't recall there being any allegations whatsoever tbh. Not among Celtic fans anyway, who watched him every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't he also boss it vs RB Salzburg? The team this year that gave liverpool such problems. Think he will be class, but just needs time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox in the North Posted 23 December 2019 Share Posted 23 December 2019 Ahhh we are finally loaning our players to Derby and (hopefully) Forest. Long may they rely on our squad/academy players o stave off relegation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted 24 December 2019 Share Posted 24 December 2019 Interesting. I do wonder what it is with Benkovic? Is it as simple as he’s still young and developing or is the Derby loan to regain match fitness following injury, is it both of those things or something else, like him not quite gelling with the squad/manager? Afterall, initial reports suggested he was gonna be the next ‘Van Dyke‘....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzie the Fox Posted 24 December 2019 Share Posted 24 December 2019 He also played in CL for Dynamo Zagreb (i think?) and was called up for Croatia 1st team, so i doubt its a case of bottling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Leeds Fox Posted 24 December 2019 Share Posted 24 December 2019 He will be fine. Just needs minutes. We were all saying the same about cags last season. Be a good move for him and close enough to ensure he doesn't need to move house etc. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozartfox Posted 24 December 2019 Share Posted 24 December 2019 Loan him any where other than the SPL. He needs game time against tough opposition EVERY week. Not just once in a Blue moon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Farley Posted 24 December 2019 Share Posted 24 December 2019 A solid half season on loan in the championship and he can come back fighting for a first team spot like Barnes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolo Barella Posted 30 December 2019 Share Posted 30 December 2019 Derby could be good for him. To be honest even another few months at Celtic would be better than just sitting there, despite how disappointing it would be. Hope he gets 90 against Wigan. Or even Newcastle...

If he doesn't get a look in v wigan. He's either just not that good. Or there's some major fitness/Injury issues. There's absolutely no way a player that was playing regularly for Celtic, couldn't have seen minutes by now, be that as a sub or in cup games. Past that there's more than meets the eye. Something just doesn't stack up. Edited 31 December 2019 by Bayfox 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than another half season in the SPL playing 70% of the time against p**s poor opposition. The Championship is a tough league and will give him in experience playing against some experienced forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
