Celtic left it late against Dundee United yesterday and they had new signing Albian Ajeti to thank after the Swiss international’s strike sealed the three points at Tannadice.
The £4.5m recruit came off the bench to score his first goal for the club to the delight of both his teammates and supporters. Fans on Twitter were very happy with the 23-year-old’s contribution:

Great timing Albian and an excellent finish – in fact you could say that it was Sterling Albian ? HH

It will be interesting to see how manager Neil Lennon approaches things in upcoming matches. The 4-2-3-1 system was once again pretty ineffective and the Irishman was forced into changing formation.
To get the best out of his squad, and to get Ajeti into the team, it may well be the case that the Hoops switch to a back three when they face Motherwell next Sunday.
Lennon will, though, need more options at the back if he is to employ such a system regularly, with Nir Bitton, Kristoffer Ajer and Christopher Jullien his only real options at centre-half.
