Beeb:
'The Scottish champions have also signed Leicester City defender Filip Benkovic, 21, on a season-long loan.'
Good experience for him if he gets to play regularly, especially if he gets a run out in the Europa, but seems a bit odd so soon after signing the guy.
Shame we couldn't interest Rogers in the other Benny.
Benkovic on loan to Celtic for the season

I'd have thought a decent Championship Team would have been a better fit.
Playing time though, something is better than nothing even if it's up there.

He’ll get a minimum 6 Europa League Group games with us too.
Will also get to experience playing in a proper size stadium.

But very little decent Football.

Does seem strange he's gone straight out on loan, but a good experience if he plays at Celtic.

I don’t think it’s odd to send him out on loan. The odd bit may have been signing 3 CBs in the first place when Wes is clearly not being put out to pasture just yet. With Evans, Maguire, Soyuncu and, for comedy value, Benny as well it was difficult to see where they were all going to fit. Maybe we’re becoming Chelsea and are going to start stockpiling talent across the leagues.
The move itself might be a good one if he gets regular game time. He’ll play in a team that will almost certainly win the league, which shouldn’t do his confidence any harm.

One of my colleagues is a Celtic fan and he has some concerns - not playing too well at the start of the season apparently.
