Signed for £2million, the man tipped to follow in the King of Kings' footsteps failed to score a single goal for the Parkhead club
But the writing was on the wall for Mohamed Bangura almost from the day he step foot inside Parkhead. No sooner had the striker posed with the green-and-white scarf above his head had he signalled his intention to LEAVE the club. Neil Lennon forked out £2million to land the Sierra Leone international from AIK Stockholm in 2011 after he was recommended by Henrik Larsson .
Embarrassingly for Bangura, it was all talk, no game. The outspoken frontman ended his debut campaign in Glasgow with a grand old total of zero goals 15 appearances. Unsurprisingly, the summer signing quickly fell out of favour under Neil Lennon with Gary Hooper, Anthony Stokes and Georgios Samaras all ahead of him in the pecking order. It went from bad to worse for the struggling forward too as a knee injury ruled him out of action for the majority of the season.
Welsh midfielder Joe Ledley didn't mince his words as he stated at the time: "If I was in the same position as Mo Bangura I probably wouldn’t play out of loyalty and respect to Celtic. He’s contracted to the club – I don’t think it would be the best move for him.
