Erik Sviatchenko left Celtic to return to Denmark in the summer.
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers might be regretting his decision to offload Erik Sviatchenko right around now.
Rodgers deemed him surplus to requirements last summer after selling him for £1 million [The Record] to FC Midtjylland, where he spent the second half of last season on loan.
But the big Denmark international would walk into Celtic’s first XI at the moment.
The Hoops lost 2-0 away to Hibernian this afternoon, with Jozo Simunovic, who partnered Filip Benkovic at centre-back, struggling in a major way.
Rodgers’s side are really missing the injured Dedryck Boyata, resulting in the Northern Irishman needing to play Simunovic alongside his fellow Croat in central defence.
Sviatchenko was offloaded last January after deals for Marvin Compper and Jack Hendry.
The 27-year-old posted a festive message for his followers on Twitter this evening, and fans of the Parkhead club were quick to tell him that he would be welcome back in Glasgow.
He helped the Danish side to a league title last season, with Midtjyyland second in the table ahead of the winter break.
