Celtic’s Mohamed Bangura: The £2 Million Striker Who Failed to Deliver
Celtic fans have always had high expectations for their new signings, but for Mohamed Bangura, the writing was on the wall from the start. Despite being recommended by Henrik Larsson, Bangura’s time at Parkhead was short-lived and uneventful.
In 2011, Neil Lennon splashed out £2 million to bring the Sierra Leone international from AIK Stockholm. However, Bangura’s intentions were clear from the moment he stepped foot inside Parkhead – he wanted to leave.
Bangura’s signing was seen as a promising move, with Larsson’s endorsement raising hopes that he would follow in the legendary striker’s footsteps. Unfortunately, Bangura failed to score a single goal for the Hoops, making his tenure a disappointing one.
The article highlights the challenges Bangura faced during his time at Celtic, and how his departure marked the end of his Hoops career.
Key Statistics:
- Transfer fee: £2 million
- Duration at Celtic: Short-lived
- Goals scored: Zero
Bangura’s story serves as a reminder that even with high-profile signings, success is not guaranteed.
