Celtic, Sanjeev Kohli, KFC and more weigh in after dazzling Josip Juranovic display

Celtic defender Josip Juranovic was one of the most talked about players as Croatia stunned Brazil on penalties at the World Cup earlier today.

The 2021 Ange Postecoglou signing was in sensational form for his country, as they saw off the tournament favourites 4-2 on penalities after a 1-1 draw.

Celtic fans were certainly buzzing to see one of their own tearing it up on the big stage in Qatar, yet even neutrals (and fast food restaurants) felt they had to have their say.

This is the best of what was said during and after the dramatic encounter.

Juranovic’s performance is likely to have caught the eye of plenty of managers at major European clubs.

The fact that the majority of the above comments were from non-Scottish based professionals just highlights the breakout nature of the display.

The growing feeling is that Juranovic may depart the club next month, but we should feel relaxed as supporters.

If he goes, it will be for a whopping profit on the £2.5million we paid for him 16 months ago (Sky Sports). And we already seem to have signed his replacement in Alistair Johnston.

With Anthony Ralston also at the club, and arguably having a better season than Juranovic, there are not even any fears for next week at Pittodrie.

Celtic hold all the cards in more ways than one. Juranovic excelling today will only have strengthened our hand.
