Celtic have a stacked squad at this point of time, with multiple options all over the pitch. They have reaped the benefits of that through the course of the campaign, navigating through every twist and turn till now to sit twelve points clear at the top of the league table, with a domestic treble still a possibility.
At the same time though, that depth has meant that there have been quite a few players who have not gotten enough chances to show what they are capable of. Sead Haksabanovic is someone who falls under that category.
Haksabanovic has impressed whenever he has been on the pitch. But that unfortunately has been too often.
It had looked like he was starting to carve out a starting spot for himself before the World Cup. But the break came at the wrong time for Haksabanovic. Despite his lack of chances, the Montenegro international appears to be keeping a top attitude though, which should please Ange Postecoglou and will hopefully lead to more opportunities in the future.
Celtic player makes superb claim amid lack of chances
As reported by 67 Hail Hail, while speaking with Celtic TV, Haksabanovic said:
"“As I’ve said before, I know there’s more to come and I’m just going to wait until I get my chance so I can start games and then there is more to come.“But I’m very happy to be here. I know we have a good squad of players so I’m just waiting for my time. I’m training hard and improving myself.”"
If you are Postecoglou, that is exactly what you want to hear from a player in the position of Haksabanovic. There is absolutely zero question about his talent or ability. Now, he is just waiting for the chance to show what he is capable of.
Sooner or later, that should come as well. If not this season then the next one. When it does, Haksabanovic has to make sure that he is ready to take it. And it looks like he is aiming to do just that.
Haksabanovic has all the talent in the world to be a major success at Celtic. Let’s just hope that he gets his big chance soon.
