Teenager to be surprise package of 17-18: Three things learned about Celtic in win v Sunderland
Ajer could be surprise package of 2017-18
Coming into the side with both Dedryck Boyata and Erik Sviatchenko both out injured, teenage ace Kristoffer Ajer has jumped at the opportunity.
Naturally a central midfielder, the Norwegian star’s big frame allows him to ply his trade at the back and he continued to impress after winning the man of the match trophy against Rosenborg last Wednesday.
If the former Start ace continues this kind of form then the 19-year-old could be the Hoops’ secret weapon this season in the defence of their Scottish Premiership title.
