Albian Ajeti in post Celtic positive as he helps Sturm Graz to impressive result against Lazio

Albian Ajeti has helped new club Sturm Graz to an impressive stalemate against Serie A giants Napoli following his exit from Celtic.

The Swiss international left Parkhead in the summer transfer window after two disappointing seasons in Glasgow after joining from West Ham United. He's netted once in three Austrian Bundesliga matches and has led the line for 75 minutes against the club from Rome, Sturm Graz holding out for a point in their Europa League Group F clash. Ajeti and co will also take on Feyenoord and Midtjylland on top of a trip to Italy before the group section ends.

Their point leaves them on four overall, level on points with Maurizio Sarri's side. Next up for Sturm Graz is a home test in the league against WSG Tirol before Ajeti will hope his team can stun Lazio away from home, just like Celtic did in this competition three years ago.

Elsewhere in the competition, fellow Celtic loanee Conor Hazard has also impressed for his adopted side away from Parkhead.

He is currently in Finland with HJK and they have drawn 1-1 at home to Ludogorets Razgrad to get them off the mark in Group C.

They've also got Roma and Real Betis to come on top of a rematch with the Bulgarian outfit next Thursday night.
