Help from Celtic! Admira play Scottish Rock

Intensive training sessions, but also a few days off, no test match - second division club Admira had a quieter international break than most other clubs. But not behind the scenes. As the "Krone" found out, two young Scots were signed on the last day of the transfer window.

 "But we didn't go out with it because a document was missing - that's now done," confirmed sporting director Peter Stöger. In plain language: help is coming again from renowned partner club Celtic Glasgow!

Stöger managed to convince Matthew Anderson, who already impressed in the southern city last season, of a new loan. In addition to the much-needed left-footer, the 20-year-old Ben Summers, an attacking midfielder who has already made brief appearances in Celtic's professional squad, has also joined the club. The new Scottish power is expected to arrive on Thursday - one day before the derby away to St. Pölten.

Coach Thomas Silberberger's wishes have therefore also been fulfilled. Another challenge to Ried in the title fight? Stöger's analysis is realistic: "It's no surprise that Ried are so strong with their established players. They have to make mistakes, only then will other clubs have a chance."

Stöger is also positive about his team's performances so far: "They've been okay, I don't see any magic soccer from any team in the league - but that's not to be expected either."

St. Pölten also strikes

St. Pölten also made another move, signing their 14th legionnaire in the form of Finnish U21 team defender Dario Naamo. The loss of identity at the Traisen is progressing inexorably . . .
