    Looks like there is mixed reports on what he hurt. Some say ankle & some say his knee

    The guy was a class act but another loan deal would be * poor in my opinion.

    He woudnt play even with the slightest of injuries cause he was here on a loan deal. He wouldnt play on plastic pitches either.

    Great player but needs to be a permanent deal if it's going to be anything. Im sick to death of loans....you cant be fully commited to a club if you're there on loan. Wee Paddy Roberts was. But usually players wont be

    Get him in now. If it’s a loan then fine. We can look at it end of season.

    Why the desperation to bring him back? He’s constantly injured.

    Hope he fully recovers. I'd take him back in a heartbeat.

    Shame if his career is blighted with injuries though. Definitely has talent.

    On the bench for Leicester today so the injury wasn't anything serious

    Where you hearing this from?

    Id bite your hand off for him right now. That defence was shocking today and looked shaky against both Partick and Killie.

    Lennon did not bite on the prospect of another loan spell at Celtic Park for Leicester City centre-back Filip Benkovic after Foxes manager Brendan Rodgers stated that the Croatian, who played under Rodgers at Parkhead last season, will be farmed out for the second half of this campaign.

    “I don’t know is the answer,” Lennon said. “I only worked with Filip for a short term, but I know he had a good impact here last season, so hopefully we’ll be looking to bring one or two in this week.”

    Quoted today

    Really injury prone....especially on plastic pitches..

    Barely played under Lenny..

    Would be strange and maybe show how desperate we are..

    Neil one or two is fine but I feel we need at a minimum a centre back and a right/left mid

    I wonder if ajer would be involved in any deal. Rodgers wants a new centre back and he wasn't in the squad today

    He's miles better than Jozo..

    Really good in the air and comfortable on the deck with either foot..

    He's definitely injury prone though as well which is a worry..

    Even though he does seem prone to an injury I’d definitely take him back and maybe see if we could get a buy option in there.

    Wouldn't surprise me the snake is already thinking one window ahead with this

    Hoping Benko comes here and does well and he can use him for leverage for either Ajer McGregor or Eddie in the summer.

    Pre injury at Pittodrie he was the closest we've come to replacing Virgil. Statistically and on the eye. Would slot in seamlessly beside Jullien.

    Absolute no brainer for a 4 month loan.
