Some Celtic fans have made it very clear that they want to see the club bring back former defender Filip Benkovic in the January transfer window.
Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has already confirmed that the Foxes are looking to possibly let Benkovic go in January, with the club looking to bring in a centre-half to help him seek an exit.
Is Benkovic better than Ajer?
Never, Ajer is better
He's much better
A Hoops-related page called ReadCeltic relayed some news about the Croatian and many Celtic fans made it clear that they want to sign the defender soon.
Guys a class act!

“These fans…..”need to watch a Celtic game once in a while! Have him back in a heartbeat.

He’s better than Ajer & Julian put together

100% we need him, the last few weeks we have looked shaky at the back. Ajer and el hamed both injured. Benkovic is a top player and we need more recruits to get the job done

Benkovic was on loan at Celtic last season and made a total of 27 appearances in all competitions for the Hoops. 19 of them came in the Premiership, as he also scored two goals and got one assist to his name.
His move to Parkhead had come days after he had joined Leicester City from Dinamo Zagreb in the summer of 2018 for a fee of £13million. Benkovic returned to King Power at the end of last season.
So far this season, Benkovic is yet to play in the Premier League for the Foxes. He has made two first-team appearances, with both coming in the domestic cups.
What do we think?
Benkovic has already been at the club and he will be a decent addition to the team, because of that. The club will increase the options they have in the defensive positions.
