Alan Brazil slams Lazio striker Ciro Immobile for 'time-wasting' against Celtic

Pundit Alan Brazil has slammed Lazio striker Ciro Immobile for his "time-wasting" against Celtic.

The Italy international came off the bench to score two late goals as the Parkhead side were knocked out of the Champions League.

But Brazil was left frustrated at the 33-year-olds antics after his first goal as he ran away to celebrate with the fans.

Speaking on talkSPORT, he said: "Here’s another one, whatever happened to time-wasting? Immobile, he scores, jumps the fence, he is there for about three minutes. 

“Does he get a yellow for that? That’s all gone out of the window now. Absolute joke.”

Meanwhile, Celtic starlet Rocco Vata was "scouted" by Inter Milan during the Hoops' 2-0 victory over Lazio in the UEFA Youth League.

This is according to a report from the Daily Record which claims that "the Serie A giants are the latest side to put the Republic of Ireland under-21 international on their radar".

Vata is in the final year of his deal at Parkhead and is yet to make a competitive first-team appearance this season.

Italian club Torino are also said to be interested in the winger, along with Frosinone, who watched the player during Celtic's Premier League Cup defeat to Brighton last week.

Brendan Rodgers' men would be due £350,000 in training compensation if the youngster was to leave at the end of the season.
