The 21-year-old returned to first-team action earlier this year and played twice before the 2019/20 season was ended prematurely by the coronavirus pandemic.

Aston Villa are planning to make a bid of £30 million for Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard, according to The Sun. It has been reported that Edouard is Premier League club Villa’s ‘priority’ target in the summer transfer window. The report in the British tabloid has claimed that Arsenal may drop out of the race to sign the Frenchman, with Crystal Palace and Leicester City also in the race for the 22-year-old. Celtic stay or Premier League move? Arsenal are one of the biggest clubs in the world and have a global fanbase, and a move to the Gunners would be a step-up for Edouard.

Villa are a big club as well, but the Villans narrowly escaped the ...
Chris Sutton and Frank McAvennie react to Celtic signing’s match winning goal
Celtic picked up a 1-0 win over Dundee United earlier today and Albian Ajeti came off the bench to score the winner for the Scottish giants. The striker joined from West Ham this summer and he will be delighted with the start he has made to his Celtic career. Neil Lennon seemed delighted on the touchline with the Swiss attacker’s impact as well. Ajeti was lacking in match fitness and Celtic decided to start with him on the bench. The Hoops struggled to create too many chances and they will be glad to have picked up the three points in the end. Celtic were firm favourites heading into the game but they were not at their best today. The Hoops will have to perform better if they want to retain their title this season. Rangers have started the season well and they are on top of the table right...
Report: Celtic in pole position to land Newcastle target, 28-yr-old prefers Parkhead move
Celtic are in pole position to sign the Brighton defender Shane Duffy this summer. The 28-year-old is a target for Newcastle United and West Ham United as well but Football Insider claims that the defender prefers a move to Parkhead instead. The player has fallen down the pecking order at Brighton and a move to Celtic would be ideal for him. Recently, the Celtic manager confirmed that the club have made enquiries for the defender. It will be interesting to see if Neil Lennon side can secure an agreement with Brighton for the player in the coming weeks. Celtic need to add some power and presence to their defence this summer and Duffy would be a superb addition for them. The likes of Ajer and Jullien have struggled physically at times over the past year and they could use a strong presence l...
Report: Lennon wants 27y/o 3 yrs after Rodgers tried to sign him for Celtic
According to Daily Record, Celtic are keeping tabs on Reading centre-back Liam Moore as manager Neil Lennon looks to bolster his backline for the new season. The Hoops know the 27-year-old well as former boss Brendan Rodgers was keen on bringing him to Parkhead three years ago, and a move could finally work out as he is out of favour at the English side. Reading are also willing to offload higher earners due to financial issues, and while they value Moore around £4.5 million, they are open to doing business for a slightly lesser fee. Celtic’s first-choice defensive target is Brighton & Hove Albion’s Shane Duffy, but they face stiff competition for his signature with Premier League sides also keen on him. They see Moore as a solid back-up option and the ability of the former England you...
‘Waste of a jersey’, ‘Miles off the pace’ – Some Celtic fans react to midfielder’s display today
Celtic picked up a 1-0 win over Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership earlier today thanks to a late winner from summer signing Albian Ajeti. The Swiss striker came off the bench to win the game for Neil Lennon’s side but the Hoops were far from convincing today. Dundee United managed to cause them all sorts of problems and Celtic must improve if they want to win the title this season. So far, Rangers have looked better this season and Lennon will demand better performances from his players in the coming weeks. One of the key weaknesses for Celtic right now is their midfield. Scott Brown is past his peak and Neil Lennon needs to replace him. The 35-year-old is a club legend but his form has dipped massively. The Celtic midfielder was mediocre today and the opposition managed to stroll ...
Report: Newcastle United enter the race to sign 28-year-old Celtic target
According to Football Insider, Newcastle United have joined the likes of Celtic and West Ham United in the race to sign Brighton & Hove Albion defender Shane Duffy. The centre-back dropped down the pecking order at Brighton last season as the likes of Lewis Dunk and Adam Webster were favoured ahead of him by manager Graham Potter. With the return of Ben White after his temporary stint, it is reported that the Seagulls are prepared to accept Duffy’s departure and are willing to sanction an initial loan. Both Celtic and West Ham have been credited with an interest in the 28-year-old, but the Magpies have now joined the pursuit of the Republic of Ireland international. Steve Bruce is said to be keen on landing a new centre-back this summer and Duffy has emerged as the prime target due to ...

Report: Celtic preparing a £2m plus bid for 21-yr-old, Lennon tried to sign him last year
Celtic are looking to sign the Motherwell midfielder David Turnbull this summer. The player came close to signing for the Scottish champions back in June 2019 but a knee problem derailed his move to Parkhead in the end. According to Football Insider, it seems that Neil Lennon is willing to return for the goalscoring midfielder once again. Celtic are expected to get rid of Tom Rogic this summer and Turnbull would be his replacement. Rogic has fallen down the pecking order at Celtic and he is no longer a key player for them. Also, he has not been at his best ever since the departure of Rodgers. Turnbull will add goals and creativity to the Celtic side if he joins them. As per Football Insider, the Hoops are lining up a £2m plus bid for the player and it will be interesting to see if they can...
‘Absolutely shocking’ – John Hartson slams 25-yr-old facing uncertain future at Celtic
Former Celtic player John Hartson has ripped into the hoops defender Boli Bolingoli for breaching the COVID-19 regulations. Celtic players were given two days off after their win over Hamilton and despite the restrictions, Boli decided to fly to Spain. As a result of his actions, Celtic’s next two Scottish Premiership matches have been cancelled. Hartson claims that Boli’s actions have not only damaged the reputation of the club, it has also put the lives of his teammates in jeopardy. He said (via Daily Record): “Bolingoli put everything in jeopardy, he put players lives in jeopardy, he put the reputation of the football club in jeopardy, he never entered into any sort of restrictions that the government have put out. “To get on a plane and just be totally ignorant, it’s absolute...
