CELTIC Loan Star Filip Benkovic has taken the time to express his admiration for the club since joining from Leicester.
The Croatian defender will tell anyone who wants to listen he is having an incredible time at what he calls a ‘special’ club.
With Celtic’s game with Salzburg fast approaching the big defender took questions in a Europa pre-match press conference and he was at it again with his praise of the club.
? FB: "The club is so special and I'm so proud to be here. As for my progression, I feel good but I want to be even better. I'm looking forward to tomorrow." #CELFCS #UEL

On the hot topic if he will remain at Celtic for the rest of the season, there is no doubt where Filip wants to be.
? FB: "@LCFC can take me back in January but my wish is to stay at #CelticFC all season. I came here to win trophies and to help the team. The least I can do is give everything I have on the pitch."
More from Filip on https://t.co/00fJCijgWx and @CelticTV soon. #CELFCS #UEL

The Leicester manager Clause Puel has told the media he expects Filip to stay at Celtic barring any major injuries to his defenders between now and the end of the January window.
Celtic would love to keep Filip on a permanent deal but with a £12million outlay by Leicester to get him to England there’s no chance of picking the player up for a reasonable fee.
Benkovics’ constant praise of his Celtic time may be good for him and the club but he is becoming a bit of an embarrassment to his parent club, Leicester! He and Celtic have been absolutely downright ungracious as have the managers comments and the fans constant clatter to sign him permanently!
He is ruffling his new team mates feathers a bit down here and I don’t think that after what has been inferred and constantly alluded to regarding a permanent transfer to Celtic he has done himself any favours with and he is losing fans down here fast also! If you wanted him badly enough you would have forked out the required fee at the start of the season? You didn’t, you let us pay up then had him on a freebie for the season, and how do you today but us?? Disgraceful behaviour, I somehow don’t think it’s a courtesy we will grant you again.

“Crying like he’s a club legend” stay off the cheap cider, try and sober up and read it AGAIN you imbecile!, nothing at all like that is stated our inferred is it? We are ‘fans’ because we know what he is capable of and were glad when he signed for OUR club, you got him for free for season, not only were you too hard up or mean to pay the 13mil fee to sign him in the first place we also play his bloody wages for you, our reward!?!…..Rodgers is constantly trying to unsettle him by posting various articles staying his desire to have him permanently, the fans are constantly doing the same!!!, like I said in the first post, “ungracious AND ungrateful” now pull your head from up your a**e and read the article again our would you like me to ‘re-word it for you in words of no more than two syllables?
Syllables NOT silly bulls!!!!! Ok Rd?
And before you moan, RD, the odd rogue word is the result of ‘predictive text’ the scourge of the modern world.
