Ex-Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer has questioned youngster Daniel Arzani's loan move to Celtic - suggesting it was not the right move for the playmaker.
The Australian legend has watched Arzani's progress stall since he joined the Hoops on a two-year loan switch from Manchester City.
Arzani, 20, suffered a horror ACL injury last season and has barely featured as a result.
And Schwarzer isn't convinced that the Celtic move will be as beneficial to the player as first hoped.
"[Daniel] had a phenomenal breakthrough season in the A-League," Schwarzer told Goal.
"He didn't play enough games over 90 minutes, which is something he needs to build on.
"The Celtic move is one which I am not sure is the best move for him just yet.
"But it is about playing games and continuing to develop.
"His injury came at the very worst time as he just arrived and got his first opportunity to play from the start.
"It was not only unfortunate for his career at Celtic but also for Australia. I just hope that he can get back to the level he was at before his injury.
"He is a huge emerging talent from Australia. That's why Man City signed him."
