Loan deal confirmed for 18-year-old Celtic defender

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers during the match

Our Celtic fans here in the Transfer Tavern want to see Brendan Rodgers sign some more players in this window but, as per BBC Sport, it’s been an outgoing that’s happened most recently.

The Bhoys are running away with the Scottish top flight once again this season and so now attention here by the bar is already turning towards next season’s Champions League campaign.

The Hoops did not have the best time of it in the groups this season and were duly knocked out so for many, that is the next stage of progression for Brendan Rodgers’ men.

New signings would be preferable, then, but they’ve let Kristoffer Ajer go on loan to Kilmarnock to mark their latest piece of business.

The young defender is 18-years-old and will stay with Kilmarnock until the end of the season.

In fact, our landlord believes, he could end up leaving Celtic for good past this year as he simply hasn’t had anywhere near the game-time he would have liked for the Glasgow club this season.

What would you do with Ajer, Celtic fans? Let us know in the comments section below!
