Celtic fans don’t understand why Emilio Izaguirre was offered a new contract

Honduran defender Emilio Izaguirre has left Celtic, but not before being offered a new contract to remain at the club for another season, as reported by The Scottish Sun.

He’ll now be looking for a club in Europe or in Major League Soccer, say the paper, having rejected the chance to stay in Glasgow.

The left-back made 19 appearances for the Hoops throughout the 2018/19 season, but his performances left a lot to be desired and plenty of fans believe the club can do better with back-up to regular starter Kieran Tierney.

Neil Lennon needs to recruit a quality player who can both provide competition for the Scotland international and step in to ensure the 21-year-old doesn’t need to play as many matches each season as he currently does.

The fact that the club have tried to retain the services of Izaguirre is a worrying sign for some that there is a lack of forward planning when it comes to the position.
