Josip Juranovic will travel to Glasgow tomorrow ahead of completing a £2.5m deal to join Celtic. However, tonight the Croatian takes part in Legia Warsaw’s Europa League Play-Off first leg against Slavia Prague. The right-back scored an excellent goal, one that would likely have bumped the price up had it been a few days before.

Juranovic started his career as a midfielder, which may stand him in good stead to play in Postecoglou’s desired IWB role. For Legia, the ten-cap Croatian Internationalist made 40 appearances as they won the Polish title. These performances lead to him being used as the first pick at Euro 2020 as Croatia finished second in the group after beating Scotland 3-1 at Hampden.
After just a year in Poland, Celtic look set to sign the player for just £2.5m. This represents an excellent deal for Celtic, especially considering that this is Croatia’s first-choice right-back. What a strike and hopefully we see some of this when he arrives in Glasgow.
