    Hoops target: Ljuban Crepulja

    CELTICare monitoring Croat kid Ljuban Crepulja.

    Parkhead managerRonny Deilaand the scouting team are casting their net across the globe in the bid to secure fresh talent.

    Crepulja, who plays for Slaven Belupo in the Croatian top flight, is among the latest to have been noted.

    Celtic are taking an increasing interest in the Eastern European market with Jozo Simunovic signed from Dinamo Zabreb at the beginning of the season


    Is it just me or does this guy look like Messi?

    He looks more like Bobo Balde to me.

    I can actually see that.
    Maybe the scouts got confused when Ronny asked them to scout a Messi-esque player.

    Move over Ryan Gauld, we've found the literal Mini Messi. Seperated at birth! How do you even pronounce that tho...Lu-ban Cre-pool-ya?

    Lyu-ban Tsre-pull-ya. Closest to the Croatian pronunciation a native English speaker could get.

    We won't know until/if he comes here. He's a regular for his club, which I do not follow much. Young, and a bit reckless (he had a drunk driving incident). Got some youth caps for Croatia.

    First thing I thought was he looks an awful lot like Messi:56:

    I think this is back up to Ajer not being secured. We are definitely looking at that holding midfield/centre role.

    Its funny as soon as I seen the Mocinic quotes earlier I thought I bet we get the other guy instead. Not as excited by this guy as I would be with Mocinic but its based on nothing other than Mocinic plays for a better team.

    Interesting, a lot of videos of him on youtube...

    Looks a bit like a left-footed Kayal, maybe better passing and dribbling ability.

    Been hearing rumours that Mocinic wants to stay at Rijeka. Take it that's why we're going for this guy

    I'd rather Mocinic purely because he seems a better player on the face of it and more experienced.

    However who knows. I would assume we are going ahead and signing this guy immediately rather than wait on a pre-contract, otherwise we would be as well maybe waiting for Mocinic.

    seems like we looked at Mocinic and found out we cant get him so we just said who else is floating about this neck of the woods?

    I really like the look of this guy. Really good on the ball, intelligent and some of his final passes, in the videos, that led to goals or at least good chances were brilliant. I'd think I'd rather have Mocinic too but I don't think we'd go wrong with this kid at all.
    Mocinic might be thinking he won't get as much game time here. Which would maybe be the case.
    I'd be chuffed with either, they're both good players and we really need more natural DM/CM players.
