Celtic fans all say the same thing as club suffer Filip Benkovic blow

Celtic fans are gutted to hear that Filip Benkovic is on the verge of a move to Belgium.

The Hoops appeared to be in prime position to bring the defender back to Parkhead for a second spell after Brendan Rodgers gave his blessing for a reunion.

Celtic were in talks with Leicester City over a deal for the Croatian as Neil Lennon's assistant John Kennedy revealed he was a target for the club this month.

But the Daily Mail are now reporting Benkovic has 'agreed' a move to Belgian side OH Leuven - the Foxes' sister club.

And fans are disappointed that Celtic might have to look elsewhere for a centre-half.

@LB67_ added: "ahahah it’s actually not funny anymore but if you don’t laugh you’ll cry."

@LoganF67_ tweeted: "Naw man."

@reaganmcmaster said: "Was fun while it lasted."

@ATcfc88 said: "Not even surprised anymore tbh."

@Kieran_Polland added: "Well that went well."
