There was a suggestion on July 4th, Mario Vuscovic was left of a Hajduk SPlit friendly because he was preparing for his move to Celtic. [Sportske.jutarnji]

The defender has been linked with a move to Celtic for the last few weeks. However, that suggestion has been nullified by today’s Hajduk starting XI where the 19-year-old not only starts for his club, but he’s been made the captain for the day. The Croatian club take on UTA Arad in a friendly this morning and the Celtic linked defender will be in the thick of it. Image Football agent Craig Moore did tell Go Radio things had gone quiet for Celtic on Mario and the Hoops are looking for more experienced players.

Kristoffer Ajer is still at the club until someone meets his valuation and will likely play a part in the Champions League qualifiers. IF Celtic do sign anyone before their second round qualifier, it’s unlikely they will get game time in these important ties. Ange Postecoglou told SunSport on Wednesday he’s in the market for a centre-back so you have to imagine we’ll have one sooner rather than later.
“There’s no doubt this squad needs bolstering. “We have a lack of depth in areas. You look at centre back, wingers and at right back.”
Mario Vuscovic appears to be out of the picture for the Hoops now at least.
