New Celtic signing Kristoffer Ajer has said he is prepared to put in the hard graft to succeed at Celtic and make sure any new manager will take notice of his performances.

The Norwegian was signed by current manager Ronny Deila, yet the young striker isn't concerned by his countryman's decision to leave Celtic Park at the end of the season:

"I knew that Ronny's job was unsafe. It's a club that has a lot of managers. Now I will join Celtic with a new manager and my performances will determine whether I can play or not." He is quoted by the Daily Record.

"I don't see Ronny not being at Celtic as a disadvantage. He is a fantastic coach who is second to none, but I will have to impress someone else now."

"I've tried to toughen up for my move to Scotland. I have five games left here and I want to give everything for Start before I leave."

Ajer is currently playing for IK Start in Norway, but will be leaving the Norwegian club this summer to make his move to the Scottish club.

The 18 year old usually plays in an attacking midfield role, but has been played as a striker for Start since the beginning of the Norwegian Tippeligaen season to improve his strength and make better use of his 6 ft 4 frame.

He has scored one goal in 10 games so far this campaign, which came in a 8-0 win over Donn in the Norwegian Cup.

Start sit bottom of the table and have not won in the league so far this season with four draws and four defeats.
