Celtic loanee Alexandro Bernabei has continued to impress during his time at Internacional, featuring prominently in their latest match, a 2-2 draw away to Red Bull Bragantino.
The left-back, who was loaned out to the Brazilian club in February following a fallout with Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers over discipline issues, played the full 90 minutes.
He struggled for minutes when he made the move to Brazil, but over the past few months, he’s made his way back into the side.

The goal scorer’s name may ring a bell with a few fans. Rafael Borre previously played a key role in Eintracht Frankfurt’s 2022 Europa League victory by scoring the equalizer and the decisive penalty in the final against Rangers.
It will be interesting to see what happens with Bernabei come the winter, when he returns from his loan spell.
Celtic brought in Alex Valle in the summer, adding some depth to the left-back position, so there’s no real need to have him around.
Rodgers didn’t seem to be a big fan of the Ange Postecoglou signing, this became clear after he turned up late to a team meeting at the start of the manager’s first season back at the Hoops.
It’s likely that the player will move on in the January window.
