Celtic must land Ben Davies transfer deal

Celtic supervisor Ange Postecoglou managed to finish his debut season answerable for the Bhoys in a fairly profitable style.

Along with taking the SPFL title away from Rangers and again to Parkhead, the Hoops additionally ended the marketing campaign with one of the best assault and greatest defensive report within the division.

With 38 video games performed, Celtic scored 92 objectives and conceded simply 22, which is 12 greater than Rangers scored and 9 fewer than they conceded.

One determine within the squad that didn’t contribute that a lot to Celtic’s spectacular season was Christopher Jullien.

Regardless of lacking the vast majority of the season via injury, the defender – who has had one efficiency again in 2020 labelled as a “shocker” by Tam McManus – didn’t get that a lot of a glance in when he was accessible.

This reveals the type of defensive credentials the Englishman, who has been described as “excellent” up to now by Preston North Finish govt Peter Risdale, has and why he’d be a helpful asset for the Hoops.

Shifting ahead, if Postecoglou desires so as to add one other centre-back to his ranks that may act as some competitors for the likes of Carl Starfelt and Cameron Carter-Vickers, then Davies might be the perfect candidate to return in and make a stake for a spot within the facet, particularly if Jullien finally ends up leaving.
