Benjamin Siegrist takes swipe at Celtic after transfer window struggles

Former Celtic goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist has come out with a pointed transfer dig at the club. 

It comes after their subpar end to the summer window. 

The Bhoys sold Adam Idah on deadline day, and despite Brendan Rodgers' saying he won't be allowed to leave until they sign a striker, no replacement is currently in the building.

In addition, Yang Hyun-jun's reported £3million move to Birmingham City fell through at the last minute, and thus, Celtic had to pull the plug on a loan deal for Manuel Benson. 

Siegrist, who was openly critical of the Celtic board in their transfer dealings last month, posted a pointed message on his Instagram story after the window shut last night, writing 'Some things never change', with a laughing emoji and a four-leaf clover. 

Siegrist claimed Celtic ignored inquiries from another club as he agreed to depart Glasgow in January of 2024. 

He said on The Bondi Podcast: "I did everything, pushed everything. I spoke to Stevie [Woods]. He said, 'In January, you can go'. 

"I spoke to the new team, spoke to everyone. It was a done deal. I was ready to pack up. 

"Some people on the Celtic board just didn't respond to any of the inquiries from the other team."

When asked why the board went silent over a move, Siegrist simply replied, "Good question."
