Barkas! Barkas! Loan Celt is fans favourite as he unleashes his inner Kyogo

Vasilis Barkas was the hero of the Utrecht support following their 2-2 draw away to NEC Nijmegen.

The homeside looked home and dry as they went 2-0 up in the 48^th minute but two quick goals earned Utrecht a point with the away fans delighted by the result that keeps them comfortably in seventh place and in with a chance of European football next season.

Barkas has played in all 25 of Utrecht’s Eredivisie matches this season which is exactly what his career needed after two miserable seasons at Celtic.

The loan deal was set up in July giving the keeper time to get settled in to life in Holland but it seems that a permanent move is off the table due to the terms of the final year on his Celtic contract.

After missing out on Fraser Forster and Craig Gordon in the 2020 close season Peter Lawwell turned his attention to Barkas but only AEK Athens benefited out of the reported £4m deal.

A resumption of his Celtic career seems highly unlikely but at the age of 28 his form for Utrecht this season could tempt another club in to making an offer for the Celtic misfit.
