Celtic want Filip Benkovic on loan, if Dedryck Boyata leaves

Boyata started and scored the winner for Celtic on his return from injury, however many supporters were less than impressed to see him back at Celtic Park.

Fans displated a banner which read "Boyata -  not fit to wear the jersey" before their game against Hamilton Academics this weekend.

The 'Daily Mail' understand that Benkovic, yet to make a first-team appearance since signing for Leicester on English deadline day earlier this month, has joined Aberdeen's Scott McKenna and Le Havre's Harold Moukoudi on a list of potential reinforcements.

Leicester are reportedly happy to let their new signing go out on loan for the season, as he was signed as cover for England centre-back Harry Maguire. 

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers also told the 'Mail', "It is a position we'll definitely be looking at.

"It's an area that, with the likes of Jack Hendry and Jozo Simunovic injured, we will be looking at.'"
