Report: Celtic have held talks with 11-goal star’s representatives, Rangers want him as well
Celtic and Rangers are interested in signing the Charlton striker Lyle Taylor this summer. As per Daily Record, both clubs have held talks with the player’s representatives but neither have come forward with a formal offer so far. Taylor is a free agent after refusing to extend his deal with Charlton so that he can play out the remaining games of the season.

It will be interesting to see if Celtic or Rangers make their move for the 30-year-old this summer. On a free transfer, he could prove to be a useful addition to their squad. Both clubs could use some depth in their attack and Lyle Taylor fits the bill. He managed to score 11 goals last season and Celtic/Rangers aren’t the onl...

Report: What Kieran Tierney was taught at Celtic caused problem among some Arsenal teammates
According to ESPN, former Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney ‘caused some awkward moments’ early on in his career at Arsenal during training. Arsenal signed Tierney from Scottish Premiership giants Celtic in the summer of 2019. The Scotland international left-back arrived at the Gunners with a ‘train as you play’ mentality taught at Celtic, but that did not go down well with some of his teammates at Arsenal, and he was asked to tone it down during training sessions, according to the report. However, Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta favours the 23-year-old defender’s aggressive approach, according to the report. Stats According to WhoScored, Tierney has made nine starts and two substitute appearances in the Premier League for Arsenal so far this season. The left-back also provided two assists i...

Report: Celtic keen on signing 28-yr-old Championship ace who is available on a bargain
Celtic are keen on signing the Championship keeper Marcus Bettinelli this summer. The Fulham ace broke into the England setup last year and he could be available on a bargain because of his contract situation. Bettinelli has just one year left on his deal. As per Daily Mail, the player could be signed for just £1m. The 28-year-old has been quite impressive for Fulham and he could be a superb addition to Neil Lennon’s side. The report claims that Celtic have suffered a setback in their pursuit of Fraser Forster and Bettnelli is now an alternate option for them.

Celtic need to bring in a quality number one and they cannot afford to take any risks...
‘Sick of signing these nobodies’: Some Celtic fans react after knowing who Lennon wants to sign
Celtic fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to express their reaction to reports linking the club with a move for Rapid Vienna midfielder Dejan Ljubicic. According to a recent report from the Daily Mail, Celtic are one of the clubs interested in signing Ljubicic this summer. The report claims that the in-demand 22-year-old midfielder is also wanted by Championship outfit Brentford. The Bees are weighing up a move for Ljubicic. However, Celtic have also discussed a move for the midfielder who has also attracted interest from clubs in Russia and Germany. Many Celtic fans feel that Ljubicic won’t be a good move for the Scottish champions as they already have plenty of midfielders, and the club should look to bolster other areas of the pitch. Here are som...
Report: Celtic want to sign Gareth Southgate’s godson this summer
According to the Chronicle, Celtic are interested in bringing Newcastle United goalkeeper Freddie Woodman to Parkhead this summer. The 23-year-old is currently on a season-long loan with English Championship side Swansea City and is expected to go out on another loan next term after the Magpies signed former Motherwell goalie Mark Gillespie. Celtic want to sign a goalkeeper after Fraser Forster returned to Southampton following the end of his loan deal at Parkhead and vowed to fight for his place at St. Mary’s, and Woodman could be their man. The England youth international knows all about the Scottish Premiership having had loan stints at Kilmarnock and Aberdeen, and he has proven his quality at Swansea all over again. He is hoping to get a call-up to the national team from his godfather ...
‘One of the best’ – Former Celtic star heaps praise on 75-cap Int’l linked with Parkhead move
Celtic have been linked with a move for Joe Hart recently. The 75-cap England international is a free agent right now and it will be interesting to see if Celtic decide to snap him up. Initially, the Hoops were expected to sign Fraser Forster from Southampton but the deal has not worked out yet. Hart is thought to be an alternative. The former Manchester City keeper has regressed a lot over the last few seasons and his signing would be a bit of a gamble for Celtic. That said, he used to be a top-class keeper and if he manages to regain his confidence and form, he could turn into a real bargain for Neil Lennon’s side. Also, Hart is only 33 and for a goalkeeper that is hardly a worry. He could sort out Celtic’s goalkeeping situation for the next few years. Former Celtic star Jonathan Gould h...
Report: Leeds plotting an ‘ambitious move’ for in-demand 22 y/o Newcastle target
Leeds United are edging closer to securing promotion to the Premier League. The Whites earned a fantastic 3-1 victory against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday and cemented their position at the top of the Championship table. It seems they have already started preparing for the summer transfer window. Patrick Bamford has scored 15 goals this season, but he can’t be relied upon to deliver week in week out in the Premier League. And Leeds are highly unlikely to buy Jean Kevin-Augustin on a permanent deal by spending more than £17m. According to latest reports from The Mirror, Leeds are plotting an ambitious move for Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard. If the Whites secure promotion, which looks more likely, they would make a serious attempt to sign the 22-year-old who has enjoyed a phenomen...
Report: Celtic plotting move for 29-yr-old ace who has been linked with Rangers
Celtic are thought to be keen on the former St Mirren keeper Vaclav Hladky. Neil Lennon’s side are on the lookout for a new keeper and the move for Fraser Forster has proven to be difficult. The Saints ace was on loan at Celtic this past season and the Hoops want to sign him permanently. However, the finances involved have complicated the deal. As per Football Insider, Hladky is an alternative to Forster. It will be interesting to see if Celtic make their move for the 29-year-old now. The Czech keeper is a free agent right now and he could prove to be a superb addition for a bargain. He has done well in the SPL over the last year and a half. He has been linked with Rangers as well. Celtic need to sign a quality keeper and it remains to be seen who they end up with. They will be going for t...
‘Rare quality’: Manager gives verdict on reported Celtic target he let go
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has told The Daily Echo that reported Celtic and Crystal Palace target Jordon Ibe can be a success at another club. Leaving Bournemouth Ibe left Bournemouth at the end of last month after his contract with the Premier League club ran out. The 24-year-old winger moved to the Cherries from Liverpool in the summer of 2016 for a transfer fee reported by The Daily Echo to be worth £15 million. Much was expected of the winger when he joined the Cherries, but the 24-year-old failed to progress and develop as much as he would have liked, and could not do much of note when he got his chances on the pitch. Howe has explained why Bournemouth did not make any effort to keep Ibe at the club, and he has said that he does have the qualities to succeed at another club. Celti...
