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. Kenny arrived in Glasgow from Sligo Rovers in January and says alongside Kyogo Furuhashi and Giorgios Giakoumakis, Ajeti has been there to help him develop, telling Celtic TV: "I've been learning off of Kyogo Furuhashi, Giorgos Giakoumakis and Albian Ajeti, you can't go far wrong with that!

"It's been good to get out with the team for the first game and to top it off with a 7-0 nil win and to get those two goals it's a good start.

"The intensity of training so far have been sky high, it's been tough but very enjoyable at the same time. The gaffer wants us to press high and get after teams in the top end of the pitch.

"That's where we should be capitalising the most and getting our goals from. The gaffer really likes the press, so we really try to go for it, it's been good to learn and get to grips with it."
