Albian Ajeti has admitted that he has been struggling for fitness in the last few months as the Swiss striker found himself on the scoresheet after an impressive second half last night. Ajeti, a £5m summer acquisition from West Ham, won a penalty for the team before scoring himself in the dying embers of the match.
Speaking to Celtic TV, the player said he was delighted to score but that he hoped to keep his fitness and continue scoring goals for the team.

Ajeti spoke very well following the game and hopefully if he can get himself up to speed, a partnership between Ajeti and Edouard may be able to flourish as we head towards the conclusion of the season.
Young Welsh looked strong learning on the job John Joe Kenny stayed on wing and made some good runs hardly gave ball away bain good stop on line distribution terrible to slow to get attacks should have cut early cross out kilmarnock should have scored not the answer ajeti some nice touches soft penalty linesman gave Eduardo had stone Waller not giving by ref was bad brown what a response to pundits had boyd stuttering but had to say he played well maybe someones had a wee talk with him to leave his hatred for Celtic affecting his judgement or maybe cause Griffiths wasnt playing
