Hibernian forward is not the answer for Celtic.

Florian Kamberi fired Hibernian to a surprise victory over Celtic earlier for this month.

For the second time in a space of weeks, Celtic fans took to social media to suggest the Swiss striker as a smart January signing.

‘Get him signed up’, ‘We could do worse’ and ‘exactly what we need’, were among the fan comments.

These came two months after Kamberi’s goal against Celtic in a 4-2 win for Brendan Rodgers’ side.

After that fixture too, Celtic fans forecast a potential mid-season swoop for the forward, who only signed for Hibs in the summer.

The big problem is that Kamberi has been maddeningly inconsistent.

He has only five goals in 15 games, and Celtic would be paying an inflated price to sign him from a Premiership club, who showed little sign of wanting to negotiate with them over John McGinn in the summer.

Kamberi’s mid-December goal against Celtic was his only strike in his last 10 games.

Celtic should be aspiring for better, and even though he has netted twice against them, Kamberi has not shown enough to tempt the reigning champions into a move.
