Davies says Benkovic is “imposing”, “dominant” and “technically good”

Celtic assistant manager Chris Davies was full of praise for Filip Benkovic, who joined the club on loan from Leicester City over the summer. The Croatian u21 international has been in and out of the first-team for Scottish Premiership outings but could become a mainstay if he can continue impressing.

The centre-back has made four appearances for Celtic in all competitions this season and could be a shrewd loan signing by the Hoops. He was an unused substitute earlier in the campaign against Rangers, played 60 minutes St Mirren, was left out of the matchday versus Kilmarnock and Aberdeen, and played 61 minutes against St Johnstone.
