Albian Ajeti slaughtered over Celtic form as former Parkhead star lets rip over Swiss recall

Ex-Celtic stopper Ramon Vega has launched a blistering attack on misfiring striker Albian Ajeti winning a recall to the Switzerland squad

The former Switzerland international defender had a short stint in Glasgow during the 2000/01 treble-winning campaign under Martin O’Neill and the 50-year-old isn't a fan of the move.

It comes after Vega recently touted himself as a realistic candidate to succeed Dominic McKay as the club's next chief executive.

But the former Spurs ace, who won 23 caps for Switzerland and played in Euro 96 for them, has been left stunned that his country issued a surprise recall to Ajeti for their World Cup qualifiers against Northern Ireland and Lithuania.

Vega said: "I am very surprised that Ajeti was called up and I really can't understand it.

"He actually only plays at Celtic because the manager has no other options due to many injuries. And he wasn't really convincing.

"I see little dynamism, little speed in him - I only see a few predatory qualities, which he does too seldom.

"I don't know what he stands for as a striker.

"I think Royal Antwerp's Michael Frey, who is quick and also scores, would have been the better choice."
