In a move that caught the eye of many, Maik Nawrocki recently made his way into The Brazen Head, the famed Celtic pub that’s a staple for fans and occasionally, the players themselves.
With a season that’s been as challenging as it has been instructive for Nawrocki, his appearance at the pub wasn’t about fanfare; it was a quiet nod to the Celtic fans while he attempts to navigate his way into the Hoops first team.
The Brazen Head, known for its vibrant atmosphere and walls lined with Celtic memorabilia, was where Nawrocki chose to spend his time, absorbing the ambiance rather than standing out. It’s a place where stories of Celtic’s past and dreams of its future mingle freely, and where Nawrocki, despite the hurdles of injuries and competition for places at Celtic, found a moment of respite.
It’s famously where former Celtic star Jota undertook a photoshoot in his final Celtic season. Walking in with double denim and a Celtic bumble bee shirt.
His visit underscores a simple, yet significant connection to the fanbase. Without a fuss, Nawrocki posed with staff and punters who asked.
The defender, still attempting to prove his worth in the Celtic jersey will likely not get much, if any, game time the rest of the season. It’s up to him to show the manager he deserves to be there when pre-season comes around.
Celtic are in the eye of the storm in the title race and their heading for Ibrox this Sunday. There’s a good chance Maik will make the bench, but CCV and Liam Scales is the preferred duo. Scales rise has hindered the defender’s chances at Celtic, but that was only possible due to Maik coming in and getting immediately injured.
