A large number of Celtic fans are not happy with the Scottish Premiership champions’ decision to loan the defender out.
Celtic fans have been reacting on Twitter after the club confirmed on their official website that Erik Sviatchenko has left the Hoops on loan for the rest of the season.
Sviatchenko signed for the Bhoys during Ronny Deila’s time in charge, but went on to make 43 appearances in all competitions during Brendan Rodgers’ first year at Parkhead.
However, this season has been a much more frustrating campaign for the Dane. The 26-year-old has made just two appearances this term and none since the Champions League qualifier with Rosenborg at the start of August.
