Talksport host and ex-Rangers player Ally McCoist has waded into Celtic’s transfer business this evening and gave his opinion on the state of the club and how target, Ben Davies, has “dodged a bullet” by choosing to sign for Liverpool rather than Celtic.
McCoist, speaking to Sky Sports, says that the Parkhead club are “in turmoil” and that Shane Duffy has been a “disaster”. There is not much you could argue with as there seems to be a host of players looking to work their ticket out of Paradise and after the shocking run of results at Celtic Park in January, all is definitely not rosy in Celtic’s garden, “Do you know something, in normal circumstances I would have said yes, it would be a good move. But I’ve got to be brutally honest with you, Celtic look as if they are in turmoil at this moment in time. Frimpong is away to Germany, it looks like they’ve brought in Jonjoe Kenny but at the same time, Kristoffer Ajer has been playing at right back.
“The signing of Shane Duffy has just been one disaster after another to be honest with you.
“It looks to me, and it has looked to me for five or six weeks that there’s half a dozen of the Celtic boys don’t want to be there. Whether it’s (Olivier) Ntcham, (Kris) Ajer will move on, it looks like he wants to move on, Edouard will move on at some time.
“So in answer to your question, in normal circumstances I would have said yes, it would be a good move for Ben Davies because he’d be going to a fantastic football club and playing far more regularly.
“You would think when (Virgil) Van Dijk and (Joe) Gomez get fit again they’ll come straight back into the side, so as I say, normally it would be a good move but there could be a train of thought that he’s actually dodged a bullet.”
