Ajeti ‘set for’ Parkhead return

Reports claim flop Celtic striker Albian Ajeti looks set to return to Parkhead this summer after failing to make his mark on loan at Sturm Graz.

According to Swiss publication Abseits, it’s highly unlikely the Austrian Bundesliga will take their option to buy the 26-year-old after he was allowed to leave the Hoops on a temporary transfer last summer.

Ajeti, who has been hampered by injury this season, has scored three goals in only 15 appearances in all competitions and the former West Ham United attacker is expected to make his way back to Glasgow despite being told he has no future at Celtic.

Ange Postecoglou could now decide to allow Ajeti - 12 months remaining on his current contract - to move on permanently for a cut-price deal.
