SEAD Haksabanovic was on the scoresheet for Stoke City as they overcame Bristol City on Saturday.
The Montenegrin winger left Celtic under a dark cloud, kicking up a fuss on social media hinting that he didn’t feel valued at the club.
He was given plenty of opportunities to show his worth but outwith that month of November, when he won player of the month, he’s failed to really impress.
He contributed to Stoke’s comeback, as they found themselves trailing 2-0 after 15 minutes. In what could’ve turned into a long afternoon for the side, Haksabanovic’s goal brought the sides level, just after half-time.
48' Perfect cross for Hakšabanović whose strike rolls into the bottom corner!
🐦 2-2 💛 https://t.co/8WZaaxpToc

He looks to be playing well in the Championship and is now amongst the goals.
Sitting 16th in the league, Stoke will be looking to climb up pretty swiftly.
It’ll be interesting to see what future Haksabanovic has at Celtic, if any, when he returns next summer. It’s believed that Stoke do not have an option to buy the player included in the loan deal.
