It’s fair to say that this afternoon’s Scottish Cup 5th Round match against Raith might not be seen as our most significant game of the season, but for a few players it will be a chance to impress Brendan Rodgers, none more so than our debut Bhoy Viljami Sinisalo…
The Finish Keeper was signed in the summer from Aston Villa for £1m as an understudy to Kasper Schmeichel, and has yet to make a competitive appearance due to the fantastic form of the Great Dane.
Viljami has a chance to impress Brendan and the Celtic support
Kasper is undoubtedly seen as the number one keeper at the club, and will be hanging around for another year at the least after signing a new deal, but Viljami has a chance to impress Brendan and let him know he has another great option between the sticks.
Viljami has a good pedigree
Scott Bain is very much third choice and effectively out the first team picture, so we are in need of quality competition and back up for Kasper. Viljami has a good pedigree after previously being on the books of Aston Villa, and is also a full international having made three appearances at international level for his native Finland.
This a great chance for him to show his qualities to both the manager and the supporters. let’s hope he grabs that opportunity and impresses. I am very confident that he will go on to be a great signing and a top keeper for Celtic. It all starts today, on an afternoon at Celtic Park that he will never forget.
Just an Ordinary Bhoy
