    Did not know that. I'd consider £8m as a reasonable bid from us, for a talent like Filip.

    Those figures and even the fact we bid are works of fiction.

    He was on our radar but we missed the boat, story of our lives.

    Aye, which is another shocker for us. If he was on our radar last year we should have been in there for him.

    Thought he was outstanding yesterday. Composure was fantastic and strolled through the game.

    Leicester City defender Filip Benkovic wants to stay on loan at Celtic for the rest of the season.

    The Croatian centre back, who helped Celtic win the Scottish League Cup after a 1-0 win over Aberdeen on Sunday, said he hoped City boss Claude Puel would not recall him during the January transfer window as he wants to win more trophies this season in Scotland.


    The 21-year-old joined City in the summer in a £13 million deal with Dinamo Zagreb but was immediately sent out on loan to Celtic to gain experience of British football and his displays have earned him rave reviews.

    Yes, for sure,” he said when asked if he wanted to stay at Celtic.

    “When you start something and you feel really good in the team. I think I can give more for this club, but we'll see. It's not just my decision.

    “The Leicester coach said probably I will stay until the end of the season, so I hope it will be like that.

    “I really appreciate what they [Celtic] are doing for me. We have a really good atmosphere in the team.'”

    Tomorrow is a very important game for us. We know how good
    @RedBullSalzburg
    are. We must focus more than 100% for this game. We must believe we can take a positive result."

    FB: "
    @RedBullSalzburg
    are doing very well this season, in the #UEL as well. They play like a team. We must stay behind each other throughout the 90 minutes and hopefully get a result."

    FB on the Hoops support: "Playing in front of these fans is fantastic. They give you power and strength. We can only enjoy our football in front of them. The support will be important tomorrow night

    FB: "
    @EuropaLeague
    games are very important. We are playing at a high level against top teams. I can learn a lot and my goal is to play every year in top European competitions.

    FB: "We are a team that play attacking football. We will do the same tomorrow as well because it's not good to play for just a point. This is not our mentality. We want three points.

    FB: "This competition is very hard and competitive. If we get through it will be a big achievement for us. We must give our everything to get through to the next round.

    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."

    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."

    Lets hope at the least he gets his wish and stays until the end of the season. He has been immense since he came into the team.

    I’d not be mad at us making a £13m bid. Justspend our budget, let Leicester break even and how they haven’t been watching Scottish football :fear:

    Offer Leicester a swap for Boyata and £5m in January. I wouldn't even mind if they didn't pay us the £5m. :fear:

    * being leaving at the end of the season im afraid. The vastly overrated harry mcguire will be punted, evans is getting on and their other cbs are pretty much all regarded as surplus.

    Benkovic definately wont be riding the bench for them next season and if his parent club have been watching as they should theyll know they have a player on their hands.
