Albian Ajeti was thrust into action for Sturm Graz just days after his switch from Celtic - but the end result left his new boss confused.
The Swiss international has joined the Austrian side on a season-long loan from Parkhead with an option to buy. He came off the bench as they drew 0-0 with Hartberg, who played 83 minutes of Saturday's match with 10 men. The Celtic loanee missed a glaring opportunity late in the game, putting a free header wide from inside the box in front of a vocal home support.
Ajeti's new team are third in the Austrian Bundesliga and face Midtjylland in the Europa League on Thursday, with manager Christian Ilzer puzzled as to how his side didn't end up winning their latest contest. He said: "In the end it's very annoying for us to only take a point. But you have to compliment Hartberg.

"They did it in a very disciplined manner throughout and defended everything. The game was bizarre, we had two top chances in the first ten minutes.
"The game changed completely with the exclusion. Hartberg was in the last third with nine players and we didn't know how to score from all those shots and corners.
"So we didn't deserve the win and Hartberg earned the point."
