Glenn Loovens’ Jordan Lotomba claim looks bizarre after Celtic team selections
Key Things to Know
  • Patrick Sinat argues Glenn Loovens' assessment of Jordan Lotomba appears odd given Martin O'Neill's recent team selections.
  • Lotomba signed in September as injury cover for Alistair Johnston but has played only ten minutes for Celtic.
  • Anthony Ralston and youngster Colby Donovan have both been selected ahead of Lotomba in the Scottish Premiership.
The Story in 60 Seconds

Patrick Sinat argues that Glenn Loovens' claim that Jordan Lotomba was signed primarily as squad depth rather than a regular starter looks bizarre given Celtic's recent team selections. Despite being signed in September to cover for the injured Alistair Johnston, Lotomba has played only ten competitive minutes for Celtic, coming on as a substitute against Rangers in the Premier Sports Cup.

Sinat highlights that manager Martin O'Neill has instead favored Anthony Ralston and young defender Colby Donovan at right-back. With Johnston returning to Celtic training, the author notes that Lotomba's first-team opportunities may diminish further after failing to secure league appearances during Johnston's absence.
