Ajer was making his third successive start for Celtic on Tuesday.
Jack Hendry could be on his way to Celtic in January, according to recent reports, despite last week’s capture of Marvin Compper from RB Leipzig.
However, they might not need another centre-back if Kristoffer Ajer keeps up his recent displays.
Ajer has started all three of Celtic’s Premiership fixtures since the 4-0 defeat at Hearts – and helped them to a third successive clean sheet against Hendry’s Dundee on Tuesday.
This is the 19-year-old’s longest run in Celtic’s side, and it is perhaps little surprise that his performances seem to be improving.
Good enough to put Hendry’s signing on hold? Several Bhoys fans seem to think so…
Goals from James Forrest and Leigh Griffiths gave Celtic a 2-0 win at Dens Park – leaving Brendan Rodgers’ team 11 points clear of Aberdeen at the top of the standings.
Celtic host Old Firm rivals Rangers – who face Motherwell later today (Wednesday) – at Parkhead on Saturday lunchtime.
Has Ajer done enough to end Celtic’s Hendry interest?
