Lee Congerton is reportedly set to leave Celtic.

A general view as Celtic fans display a team banner during  the Scottish Premier League match between Celtic and Rangers at Celtic Park on December 30, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Lee Congerton is set to quit Celtic, with a role at Anderlecht on the horizon, according to Talksport.

His exit will be greeted with pleasure from Celtic fans, who have pinned the club’s failings in the transfer market at his door.

Congerton arrived at Celtic with his card already marked. A woeful spell at Sunderland saw him leave the Black Cats with his reputation damaged.

His Celtic spell has not enhanced his reputation, if anything it has got worse.

Several of his signings have flopped badly, with Jack Hendry and Marvin Compper among them.

Congerton’s greatest hit could be yet to come.

The transfer supremo was reportedly behind the signing of Ukrainian winger Maryan Shved in January, The Scottish Sun report.

This was a deal Brendan Rodgers was not keen on, with the winger loaned back to Karpaty Lviv until the end of the season.

The former Sevilla talent highlighted his potential by scoring a hat-trick at the weekend.

It may take a while for Shved to make his stamp on Celtic, and when he does, Congerton may not be there.

Yet he could single-handedly change how Congerton is viewed at the club if he ends up becoming a massive success.
