Ex-Celtic man Saidy Janko could replace a one-time flop at Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers.

Celtic flop Saidy Janko could be on the move again – and he might be replacing a one-time Rangers dud.

The 23-year-old had a forgettable two-year spell on the Hoops’ books after being signed by Ronny Deila in 2015, but he has rebuilt his career and reputation since and, according to O Jogo, he is set to join Young Boys on loan.

The Swiss side need a new full-back after Kevin Mbabu moved to Germany and, interestingly, it could be a case of one Celtic flop replacing a Rangers one.

Mbabu had a poor loan spell with the Ibrox side back in 2015 and failed to even make the bench, let alone play.

Mbabu, still only 24, was on loan at the Gers from Newcastle at the time, but it’s fair to say that his failure to impress in Glasgow hasn’t held him back after getting a big move to Wolfsburg for £8 million in April.

Likewise, Janko, who was with Manchester United before joining Celtic, has done okay since leaving Parkhead, though he has yet to make his competitive debut for the Portuguese giants despite joining last summer.

The 23-year-old made 12 Scottish Premiership appearances for Deila’s side, before Brendan Rodgers loaned him out upon taking the reins at Paradise in 2016.
