Hoops given huge transfer boost as prospect’s Liverpool career ‘could be over’
As Celtic begin their 2025/26 Scottish Premiership campaign, Brendan Rodgers clearly isn’t done yet in terms of transfer movement for the East End side. Rodgers recently added Jahmai Simpson-Pusey to his list of arrivals as the 19-year old centre back signs on loan from Man City.
Celtic won the first match of their league campaign 1-0 against St Mirren through a late Luke McCowan winner. Although the margin of victory wasn’t huge, this didn’t reflect the play on the park, as it was onslaught of attacks from The Hoops for the full ninety minutes.
There are still some areas of the pitch which Rodgers feels he needs to strengthen, one of which is the holding midfielder role, where The Hoops don’t have a natural stand in for Callum McGregor. However, with a 20-year old Liverpool prospect looking like he’s headed for the exit door at Anfield, Rodgers may well have just found his man.

When Bajcetic did get a run of games for Liverpool, he was praised for his calmness on the ball and ability to get out of tight situations. It was for this reason that Klopp started him against Real Madrid, in the round of 16 of a Champions League match, where the youngster didn’t look out of place.
Bajcetic came through the youth system at Celta Vigo where he spent seven years, before joining Liverpool’s academy in 2020. The youngster is also an ever-present in the Spain under-21 side.
With a lot of Celtic fans crying out for more arrivals this window, Bajcetic seems like a no-brainer at this stage in the window, and with the him falling out of favour at Liverpool, Celtic may just have timed this deal to perfection.
