Peter Grant tips Stefan Bajcetic to replace Callum McGregor
There will come a time when Celtic have to replace Callum McGregor.
The Hoops captain has plenty of life left in him but at the age of 32, it may be in the back of everyone’s mind.
That won’t prove to be an easy task by any means but Peter Grant thinks Liverpool’s Stefan Bajcetic should replace McGregor.
While on the Go Radio Football Show, he said: “Well, when I seen him playing come in as a young player, he played a few games for Liverpool and he was outstanding.
“I was very impressed with him at that particular time. So if he’s that type of player that, probably the Callum McGregor role, that’s where he would play, he was more of a playmaker than anything else.”
Liam Henderson links up with Celtic icon
Liam Henderson has been enjoying life in Italy ever since departing Celtic Park in 2018.
Henderson has played for no fewer than six clubs in Italy, including two spells at Empoli.
Following their relegation to Serie B, the midfielder had departed but has now been signed by Sampdoria.
Massimo Donati manages Sampdoria and signing Henderson has brought about a new-found Bhoys connection.
Etienne Youte still open to Celtic transfer
Etienne Youte is available on the cheap due to Le Havre’s ongoing financial concerns and because he is in the last year of his contract.
Reportedly valued at £4.3m, Youte has said he would be open to a transfer if he and his agents began to explore a deal with someone.
He said: “I know now that I have to be patient before making a decision. For the moment, I’m here and I feel good within this group. I’m preparing for the season.
“If there are interesting offers for me and for the club, we will find an agreement together.”
