Bojan Miovski touted for Celtic transfer as John Hartson names fee that would be ‘good business’ for Aberdeen striker

The former Hoops hero reckons the Macedonian would be a good signining

Former Celtic striker hero John Hartson values Aberdeen marksman Bojan Miovski at around the £4million mark and reckons that would be “good business” for his old club as he urged them to make the signings that will tip the title race in their favour in the second half of the season.

The Welshman believes the Hoops board should deliver the quality Brendan Rodgers has asked for in the January transfer window with Hartson predicting a Scottish Premiership challenge from a Rangers side revitalised under Philippe Clement.

Miovski was signed for a bargain £535,000 from MTK Budapest 18 months ago and has been a revelation in Scotland.

The 24-year-old Macedonian international has been touted for both Celtic and Rangers and Hartson believes he could be a shrewd acquisition for the Hoops. He told the Sunday Post: “I’ve seen Bojan Miovski a few times and I really like the look of him. I think he’d do well at Celtic.

He has been a regular goalscorer for Aberdeen and knows what it takes at this level and for his country, Macedonia. Bojan has a nice first touch, holds the ball up well and brings others into play. He also powers towards goal when the time is right and causes defenders all sorts of problems.

“In terms of a transfer fee, different numbers have been mentioned, from £3million to £6m. The bottom line is that Aberdeen will have their value and any interested club will know what they think he’s worth. Personally, I’d have him in the bracket between £3.5m and £4m. That would be good business. Kyogo Furuhashi is outstanding and as long as he stays fit then we’ll be fine. But there is a wee niggle that we should still bring someone in for the forward area

“We are now in the final few days and all eyes are on Celtic. So far, Nicolas Kuhn has been signed from Rapid Vienna and he looks to have the makings of a good player. Brendan Rodgers has made it clear he wants to bring in three or four players of really good quality.

“That’s what the manager has identified and he will expect that to happen between this window and the summer window. He might actually need more than that if one or two of the big hitters are sold.

“Overall, if the squad stays intact for the next five months I think Celtic can win the league again. However, I’m not taking that for granted. I think there will be a challenge from Rangers and my former club cannot show them a glimmer of hope. Celtic is the team to stop. But there is room for improvement. You must never rest on your laurels. That’s why I’d like to see two more signings arrive in the next week.”

‘I’ve no idea why’… Andy Walker is baffled that Celtic haven’t offered a new contract to 25-year-old player

One thing that Celtic must be praised for is their work in tying their best players down on new extended contracts.

With players like Kyogo Furuhashi, Daizen Maeda, Matt O’Riley and now, Cameron Carter-Vickers all on long-term deals, the club have done excellent work in ensuring that they have protected the first team over the past few months.

But there is one player that former Celtic striker, Andy Walker, believes the Hoops must deal in and he admits that he is baffled that Celtic have not yet done a deal.

Walker said [The Go Radio Football Show], “They will keep players like O’Riley and other important players like Cameron Carter-Vickers who you want to be back fit because he obviously makes the team a lot better.

“But people like Liam Scales, who I think it’s the easiest thing to extend his contract. It hasn’t happened yet. I’ve no idea why.

“I mean, I’m sure he wants to stay. I’m sure he wants to flourish. I’m sure he wants to play in a winning team and the transformation that he has made in the last number of months as a Celtic player.

“Not just a guy who’s filled in for someone at centre back. This guy has been really consistent. And I thought it might have been the easiest thing to do to extend his contract and give a bit of good news to the Celtic support.”

Liam Scales’ story at Celtic this season is nothing short of remarkable. Looking likely to leave the club last summer, a defensive injury crisis meant that the Irishman was called upon to fill a gap and he has shone at every level.

Looking comfortable in the Champions League and the SPFL, Scales is now a full international after getting his first cap for the Republic of Ireland last October.

Scales has already admitted publicly that he would love to stay at Celtic and I believe he would jump at the chance to stay at the club.

All Celtic need to do is offer a contract and he will stay at the club. With his impressive form and the fact his deal expires at the end of next season, it seems like a no-brainer for Celtic to do the right thing and get him signed up for another few years.

But after a spectacular career rival, this former Parkhead striker could be about to achieve his European dream.

Celtic made a splash in the transfer market in the lead up to the 2019/20 season, landing Christopher Jullien for £7million.

The likes of Fraser Forster, Greg Taylor and Jeremie Frimpong all arrived too as the Hoops went on to secure a ninth straight league title.

Not all of the transfer business worked out, however.

It was also that season that saw the arrival of the likes of Boli Bolingoli, Patryk Klimala and Ismaila Soro.

And there was also the signing of a young Irish striker from Southampton who had just starred for the Republic of Ireland at the Uefa U-19 European Championships.

Jonathan Afolabi was snapped-up from the then-Premier League outfit on a free transfer, with the 19-year old thrilled to link-up with the Scottish champions.

But three years later, he left Celtic having failed to make a single first team appearance.

Instead, his time in Scottish football was largely spent out on loan, with spells in the Championship with Dunfermline, Dundee and Ayr as well as a stint in League One at Airdrieonians.

At Dens Park, he helped fire the Dee to promotion with crucial strikes in their play-off run.

Afolabi was released by the Hoops in the summer of 2022 when his contract expired.

Speaking earlier this year, he admitted things could’ve worked out differently and took his share of the blame for it not happening for him in Glasgow.

He said: “After two years I think I knew I wasn’t going to make the first team, I had planned to get into the first team, that’s why I went there but there are very high expectations at a club like Celtic, they expect to win every game and you need to be at the top of your level to even have a sniff.

“I read that Celtic was bad for a lot of young Irish players, us not breaking through but there are two sides to it, if the players don’t perform, they have no reason to put you into the first team. We had different pathways and we’re making our way now in different ways.

“I take responsibility for stuff I could have done better, been more professional, I didn’t do anything wrong as such but there were steps I needed to take to improve, if I had taken all of my opportunities it could have been a different story for me at Celtic, you have to be ready when it happens.

“I can’t say it was three wasted years, I learned the levels you need to be at, how professional you need to be, what hard work you need to put that Celtic shirt.”

After his Parkhead release, Afolabi decided to head back to Ireland and he hasn’t looked back.

Moving back to his home city Dublin, he signed for League of Ireland Premier Division outfit Bohemians.

After a handful of appearances towards the end of the 2022 season, he’s been outstanding in 2023.

Afolabi found a prolific scoring streak and fired 20 goals in 40 matches across all competitions in the campaign just gone.

His stunning revival and incredible form saw him finish the league’s joint-top scorer with 15 goals and earned him a spot in the team of the year.

Afolabi also netted in the FAI Cup Final in front of a record-breaking crowd at the Aviva Stadium, but ended up on the losing side against Jon Daly’s St Patrick’s Athletic.

He even earned his first international call-up in September this year although didn’t make his debut.

It’s been a fantastic career turnaround for Afolabi and he’s attracting plenty of transfer interest.

And he could be headed for the top flight of a major European league.

According to the Irish Independent, Afolabi is the subject of a six-figure offer from Belgian top tier side KV Kortrijk.

It’s claimed they’ve bid around £175,000 for Afolabi, but they aren’t the only club to have made an offer.

While the report claims two other Belgian clubs are also monitoring the in-form frontman, Carlisle United are also said to have launched a bid for him.

The English League One strugglers have just been taken over by American investors, who have targeted getting the club up the divisions.

A move to Kortrijk would see Afolabi link up with a couple of familiar names to Scottish football fans.

Former Rangers winger Sheyi Ojo is on loan there from Cardiff City, while ex-Kilmarnock loanee Ryan Alebiosu is at the club too.

Celtic Transfer Saga Shrouded in Mystery: John Hartson Sounds Alarm as Kyogo Furuhashi Faces Backlash Despite Victory over Ross County!

Celtic got the job done against Ross County, but it wasn’t convincing, nor eye-catching from the team.

If you add in the lack of transfer business this month, then it just frustrates the Celtic fans even further.

John Hartson spoke about Brendan Rodgers’ side lacking that attacking bite and how the club’s call to sell Giorgos Giakoumakis last January was a ‘mystery’, as he posted on Twitter.

Whilst Kyogo Furuhashi has delivered in the big games for Celtic this season, it’s fair to say that he just hasn’t been at his best throughout the campaign.

That’s due to the Japan star making his usual attacking runs, but the ball is not being fed to him quickly enough.

John Hartson thinks Kyogo Furuhashi is ‘copping a bit of flack’ after the win over Ross County, with only eight goals to his name from 23 Scottish Premiership matches.

Given the levels he has set, then the drop-off, even if it’s small, is going to be obvious to all.

Kyogo Furuhashi and Giorgos Giakoumakis
“Think Celtic need more attacking prowess .. a different type to Kyogo. When Kyogo not scoring we need a decent back up.. totally dominant in the game.. ide like to see 2/3 more players arrive.. 3pts move on,” said Hartson.

“Kyogo copping a bit of flack.. but his goals per games is ridiculous.. that’s my point he’s not going to sustain that ratio so Celtic need a Forward that is capable of coming into the side and can deliver when needed. Selling GG was mystery …”

Celtic not at their best
The only big plus is that the team is still sitting on top and given that it has been an indifferent season, then you wonder how.

But it proves that when the buttons have been pushed, the team have been there and proved themselves.

Yes, there needs to be some sort of lift from the transfer market, the arrival of a few more players and the mood will be a lot more positive.

But, as of this moment, there is a sense of frustration because everything really isn’t hitting the levels fans expected they would.

Saturday Night Sydney van Hooijdonk Celtic Update

Celtic Monitoring Sydney van Hooijdonk as Transfer Window Nears Close

As the transfer window hurtles towards its final days, whispers of Celtic’s interest in Bologna’s Sydney van Hooijdonk have become more pronounced.

It seems the Bhoys are keen on bolstering their attacking options. Yet, as the clock ticks, no formal move has been made for the 23-year-old striker.

Sky Sports’ Anthony Joseph recently shed light on this evolving story, confirming Celtic’s interest in van Hooijdonk. While the club’s intent is clear, their approach remains cautious. With only a handful of days left before the window shuts, the tension is palpable among the supporters.

Sydney, son of former Celtic striker Pierre van Hooijdonk, is no stranger to the lore of the Hoops. His father’s time at the club during the 90s is well remembered, adding an intriguing narrative to this potential transfer. Sydney’s desire to leave Bologna this month presents a tantalising opportunity for Celtic to tap into this particular lineage.

However, the situation is still fluid. Despite the growing need for a striker to reinforce the squad, Celtic’s strategy appears to be one of careful deliberation rather than hurried action.

As the days dwindle, the question remains: will Celtic seize the opportunity to bring Sydney van Hooijdonk into the fold? Or will the window close with not much else happening.

For now, all eyes remain on Celtic. Fans are expectant and there is so much on the line.

CELTIC FC Celtics manager Brendan Rodgers slashes £200k off of a beautiful house as he attempts to find a buyer

*Brendan Rodgers Cuts Price on Luxury Mansion Amidst Struggle to Find a Buyer**

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has reduced the asking price of his opulent Wilmslow mansion by £200,000, as efforts to sell the property face challenges. Acquired for £3.95 million in the summer of 2022, the property was initially listed at offers over £4.2 million last August.

**Property Overview:**
Situated in an exclusive street in Wilmslow, Cheshire, the luxurious residence boasts five bedrooms, a gym, landscaped gardens, a double garage, and a bar area.

Additionally, it is equipped with advanced features such as CCTV, underfloor heating, air conditioning in most bedrooms, electronically operated blinds, and ceiling speakers. Planning permission has been granted for the creation of ‘leisure facilities.’

**Reduced Asking Price:**
Despite the initial optimistic listing, Rodgers has faced difficulty securing a buyer, prompting a reduction in the asking price to £4 million. This strategic move aims to enhance the property’s market appeal and expedite its sale.

**Agent’s Description:**
Sofia Da Silva, the property agent, emphasizes the exceptional quality of the residence, describing it as “immaculately presented to a very high specification” and a “double gable-fronted contemporary residence finished to an uncompromising standard.” The property’s location on one of Wilmslow’s prestigious roads adds to its allure.

**Comparison with Sir Alex Ferguson’s Sale:**
The context of Rodgers’ mansion sale is further highlighted by the fact that legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson put his home on the same street up for sale for £3.5 million in November. The former Manchester United manager’s decision followed the death of his wife Cathy.

**Rodgers’ Previous Home Incident:**
The article briefly recalls an unsettling incident from 2019 when Rodgers was the victim of a robbery at his Bearsden home near Glasgow. Despite not being present during the incident, his family had to take refuge in a bathroom as robbers stormed in and stole medals.

**Rodgers’ Football Achievements:**
Rodgers’ successful managerial career, including winning back-to-back trebles in his initial spell with Celtic, is touched upon. His achievements include seven trophies before departing for Leicester in 2019, where he led the club to the UEFA Europa League and the FA Cup.

**Return to Celtic:**
After a stint at Leicester, Rodgers returned to Celtic, replacing Ange Postecoglou. The managerial transition marked his re-engagement with the club where he had previously enjoyed considerable success.

CELTIC manager Brendan Rodgers has slashed £200,000 off the price of his luxury English mansion as he bids to offload it.

The Parkhead boss, 51, bought the upmarket property in an exclusive street in Wilmslow, Cheshire, for £3.95m in the summer of 2022. He put the house up for sale for offers over £4.2m last August but after struggling to find a buyer has reduced the asking price to £4m

**Conclusion:**
The evolving narrative of Brendan Rodgers’ attempt to sell his Wilmslow mansion unfolds against the backdrop of a competitive real estate market and the broader context of his football career. The reduced asking price signals his commitment to facilitating the sale while maintaining the property’s prestige.

‘Something isn’t right’: Peter Grant is concerned about Brendan Rodgers’ statements on Celtic star

Celtic’s rising star, Rocco Vata, marked a significant milestone by scoring his first goal for the club in Sunday’s Scottish Cup match against Buckie Thistle.

‘A big loss’: Neil Lennon pleads for Celtic star to stay amid reports he may depart

Celtic’s recent signing of Nicolas Kuhn has ignited speculation among fans about potential departures from the squad, particularly among fringe players. The depth in attacking areas, coupled with Brendan Rodgers’ endorsement of the transfer, suggests that the team is gearing up for some significant changes.

One player who might be affected is 18-year-old Rocco Vata, capable of playing on the wings and in central positions. Despite his recent goal-scoring cameo in Celtic’s 5-0 victory over Buckie Thistle in the Scottish Cup, there are talks of his potential departure. Neil Lennon expressed a desire for Vata to stay but acknowledged the ongoing speculation, indicating that the player could secure a move to Italy.

Vata’s contract is set to expire in the summer, and with no signs of a new deal being inked, the situation seems uncertain. Neil Lennon highlighted Vata’s talent and the ‘big decision’ he faces regarding his future at Celtic. The manager praised Vata’s contribution against Buckie Thistle and emphasized the significance of the young player’s personal ambitions.

While acknowledging the plethora of options in the final third, Brendan Rodgers’ decision on Vata’s future will be crucial. The manager’s assessment, based on regular training observations, will guide the team’s direction. Despite the abundance of choices, Rodgers saw fit to strengthen the flanks with Kuhn’s addition this month, hinting at a long-term strategy.

The true impact of these decisions may unfold in the upcoming season, with the Champions League providing a significant platform for Celtic. From Vata’s perspective, Celtic, especially under Rodgers’ management, offers an ideal setting for development and growth, making it a crucial decision for the young player to make.

Horatiu Moldovan Celtic transfer “offer” is made public as the Romanian goalkeeper approaches the Atletico Madrid transfer

Atletico Madrid appears to have secured the services of Romanian international goalkeeper Horatiu Moldovan, leaving Celtic among the clubs reportedly thwarted in their pursuit. The 26-year-old shot-stopper is on the verge of undergoing a medical in the Spanish capital, with the La Liga giants offering a four-and-a-half-season contract and an annual salary of 800,000 euros.

Celtic, along with FC Basel, Ludogorets Razgrad, Betis Sevilla, and others, had expressed interest in Moldovan, as revealed in a Romanian report. The termination clause in Moldovan’s contract with FC Rapid, valued at 800,000 euros, is expected to be paid by Atletico Madrid following the successful completion of the medical examination. Moldovan acknowledged the multiple discussions with various clubs but emphasized the irresistible appeal of Atletico Madrid, citing their determination as a decisive factor in his choice.

Speaking to the media at Bucharest airport, Moldovan expressed his excitement about the upcoming challenge, acknowledging the competition he will face, particularly against Jan Oblak, whom he considers the best goalkeeper in the world. Despite describing the move as a dream come true, Moldovan remained grounded, emphasizing the need to navigate the medical examination and recognizing the unpredictable nature of football.

In light of these developments, the goalkeeper position at Celtic, currently occupied by Joe Hart, has come under scrutiny. With Hart approaching 37 later in the year, there is speculation about Brendan Rodgers considering reinforcements. While Rodgers acknowledged Hart’s positive influence on the squad, he hinted at a desire to enhance the team further in upcoming transfer windows, reinforcing his commitment to improving the overall squad dynamics during his tenure at Celtic.

Nicolas Kuhn is a questionable transfer for Celtics, but Brendan Rodgers claims he is a top player and that the onus now rests with him – Chris Sutton

The former Hoops strike hero and Record Sport columnist has his say on the new Parkhead.

Brendan Rodgers has described Nicolas Kuhn as having an terrific level of quality.

New Celtic Signing Nicolas Kuhn

There’s no conjecture in those words. The manager desires a certain trendy of player and, judging by means of his personal comments, that’s what he’s been given in the German. The Celtic boss made a name on quality. Not projects. I referred to last weekend I felt Kuhn used to be one for the venture list, but it is the opinion of Rodgers that counts when it comes to signings. So now it’s up to Kuhn to show him correct. Quite simply, Rodgers has to stand and fall by means of signings. Every manager does.

Kuhn is a vast attacking player and the place he suits into it all will be fascinating. The vibes are he performs off the proper coming internal and that door is huge open at the moment with Daizen Maeda at the Asian Cup. Liel Abada returned from injury just earlier than shutdown, however that lad has had lots to deal with this season and it’s challenging to recognize what he’ll produce on a regular basis. At £3million with masses of starts offevolved for Rapid Vienna before arriving, Kuhn has to be oven-ready and deliver massive shows from the minute he steps onto the park.

Rodgers wants arrivals to boost his starting team. Not further bloat the squad. So Kuhn has to go in there and hit the ground running. If he fails and ends up spending most time on the bench, he’ll join the dreaded category of fringe men and that’ll irritate fans. For all the criticism of the board over what’s being sought and what’s being bought, this one’s on the boss. Recruitment team of workers are essential to help whittle down the lists when a manager offers a description of the kind he desires from a certain position.

But, once recommended, it’s structured on Rodgers’ final judgment. That’s what will be beneath scrutiny here and that’s how it must be. Yes it things to a diploma how a good deal a club will spend. It’s stupid to propose otherwise, however the board works inside the mannequin and I have no qualms about it because Rodgers is aware of what it is. He says he’s comfortable to work inside it. So he’s got to get it right. I surely don’t apprehend fans screaming for big outlays when it’s been made flawlessly clear this is the club’s strategy. And, I’ll say it again, if it is performed properly, it can be vastly effective.

The activity this week that has emerged surrounding Cameron Carter-Vickers just bought me questioning about how high-quality Celtic can make it work. Evidence suggests the ones in the £2m-to-£3m bracket are volatile in the sense you may additionally end up with little in return.

But Matt O’Riley, Maeda and Reo Hatate are examples that it can work, though you need to be either extraordinarily smart or fortunate to get that three for a sum complete of about £4.5m, as Ange Postecoglou managed to do.

Hand on heart, do you certainly see Celtic getting much of their outlay lower back on Kwon Hyeok-kyu, who has just long gone on loan to St Mirren? You can in no way say never.

Stephen Robinson and Kwon

Kristoffer Ajer went to Brentford for a right few quid and he value much less than a million from Norway when Ronny Deila offered him. Rodgers despatched him out to Kilmarnock to analyze his alternate and received there, eventually. So maybe the cross to Paisley will have a comparable effect on Kwon and, at the equal time, that Ajer story tells you that Odin Thiago Holm would possibly flip out to be a desirable one in the end.

But Celtic also want performers for proper now. I know rate isn’t the solely barometer of a player’s potential as the market where you keep often dictates the figures. Put it this way, if Hatate or Maeda have been coming from the English Premier League with their genuine same profiles, do you think they should have been snared at J-League prices? Of path not. But there’s a balance and I can understand why fans would like to see just a little more spent on greater confirmed excellent to nearly warranty the win-win scenario.

The membership had no problems paying £9m for Odsonne Edouard because they knew, barring a disaster, they were now not going to lose money. In the end, they doubled their money when Crystal Palace stepped onto the scene. Celtic had to spend £6m to get Jota signed. Paying that little greater ended up netting them £25m when the Saudis got here calling. In the identical summer, Carter-Vickers price the equal £6m. If the English do come knocking in the summer, I’d say you are looking at every other £20m.

That’s surely what the fans favor to see. Chunky investments bringing even healthier returns. I’m fairly certain Carter-Vickers and O’Riley will remain until at least the summer, however they’ll go one day and their bumper transfer expenses when departing will just push the narrative of pay higher, sell higher. Fans just prefer ready-made players who can go straight into the aspect and make it better.

Kuhn has to fall into that bracket. He’s lower back towards the riskier quit of the scale if you are looking purely at switch fee, but it’s about the excellent and Rodgers says Kuhn has it. That’s the manager’s judgment. Not that of the board. So Rodgers has to have picked a correct one, and preserve discovering right ones, because the buck stops with him.

Celtic’s new goal is to prevail in the competition to sign Rodgers’ “excellent” forward

He’s hit the headlines recently due to his goalscoring exploits…

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has earmarked a couple of areas to make stronger before the close of the window and his side are now reportedly eager on an exciting player to bolster the Hoops’ Scottish Premiership title bid.

Permanent deals would be preferable, but loan targets may be more achievable.

GK situation is also being assessed, but more likely to be addressed in the summer.

— Anthony Joseph (@AnthonyRJoseph) January 17, 2024

Loan aims might also be the intention for Celtic as they evaluate now not only availability but also affordability. The Daily Record declare that several selections from the Premier League have been reviewed as Rodgers looks to furnish guide to Kyogo Furuhashi, who has grow to be the sole surviving forward at Parkhead for the next few weeks amid Oh Hyeon-gyu and Daizen Maeda’s involvement at the Asian Cup.

One acquainted identify that continues to be noted in the left-back function is Liverpool defender Owen Beck and he could cross north of the border once once more earlier than the cut-off date if Jurgen Klopp deems that he has gorgeous cowl in that function amid latest injury worries involving Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas.

Another choice has now come out of the blue that Celtic may want to look to goal to pork up their alternatives in attack, according to a clean report.

HBAgency
Brendan Rodgers has been impressed via Beck all through his stint in the Premiership and the youngster put in a stable overall performance in the champions’ 3-0 win on Tayside on Boxing Day.

Daizen Maeda spent a irritating sixty six minutes towards the tigerish back-four operator, as CQN‘s fit reporter referred to in his massive recreation summary. The Japanese international eventually made way for South Korean Yang Hyun-jun who did’t fare a whole lot better in opposition to his pacy, quick-tackling opponent.

CLOSE-UP VIEW…Owen Beck is helpless as Mikey Johnston whips in Celtic’s second purpose in the 3-0 win over Dundee at Dens Park on Boxing Day.

The Hoops are searching for cover for Greg Taylor in the No.3 slot with £3.75million Argentinian flop Alexandro Bernabei probable to be on his way.

Jurgen Klopp brought Beck returned to the Merseyside at the flip of the 12 months after being hit by means of a double blow to protective double-act Andy Robertson, the Scotland international skipper, and Greek back-up Kostas Tsimikas with each gamers suffering shoulder injuries.

Right-sided Joe Gomez has been forced to play in the unfamiliar role in latest games and the Liverpool boss may additionally now look to Beck to supply the answer.

An appearance by using the 21-year-old celebrity in the top side would give up any possibilities of the champions landing the defender as FIFA rules country no participant can play for three teams in the identical season.

Klopp’s facet still have two Premier League games to play before the end of this month’s window – towards Bournemouth on Sunday and Chelsea on January 31.

THE FINISHING TOUCH…Greg Taylor thumps in Celtic 1/3 and closing aim in the victory over St Mirren in Paisley to get 2024 off to a prevailing start.

They also have a Carabao Cup semi-final 2nd leg towards Fulham at Craven Cottage due on Wednesday and an English Cup-tie against Championship outfit Norwich City a week on Sunday.

Lethal Palma partner could be acquired by Rodgers in Celtic’s £3 million raid for the “big game player” – opinion

The Hoops are reportedly fascinated in a swoop for the Premiership marksman.

Celtic head coach Brendan Rodgers appears to be a busy man this month as the Northern Irishman appears to bolster his playing squad at some point of the January switch window.

FootballScotland reporter Mark Hendry recently claimed that the Hoops are hoping to add a winger, a left-back, and a centre-forward to the group before the quit of the month.

The window opened for commercial enterprise at the start of ultimate week and the Scottish giants are yet to make their first addition. However, they are closing in on a swoop for Rapid Wien ahead Nicolas Kuhn.

Hendry mentioned that the Bhoys ‘expect’ to land a deal for the German attacker, which would then go away the membership in need of a left-back and a striker.

Celtic are currently top of the Scottish Premiership table and ought to be searching to bolster their aspect to make sure that they impenetrable the title at the give up of the campaign.

One striker who ought to be brought in to add to Rodgers’ firepower is reported switch target Lawrence Shankland, who should be a lethal companion for Luis Palma at the pinnacle quit of the pitch.

Celtic transfer information – Lawrence Shankland

Journalist Graeme Bailey published at the begin of the month that Celtic are considering a swoop to sign the Scotland global in January.

The accompanying document from HITC, however, published that there is masses of opposition to secure his signature and it could, therefore, be a challenging one for the club to complete.

Everton, Sheffield United, Burnley, and Crystal Palace from the Premier League are said to be keen on the Hearts captain, at the same time as Championship facets Southampton, Middlesbrough, and Hull are also fascinated in him.

Football Insider claimed in December that Hearts are organized to demand a fee of at least £3m for their skipper, and it remains to be viewed whether or not Celtic are organized to pay that for the centre-forward.

The outlet introduced that Glasgow Rangers have been maintaining tabs on the Scottish wide variety nine however the £3m valuation appears set to park their interest till the summer, for monetary reasons.

If the Hoops are in a position to win the race for his signature over the coming weeks, Rodgers ought to land a deadly accomplice for Palma in the closing 0.33 due to his tremendous goalscoring best to go alongside with the winger’s exceptional creativity.

Luis Palma’s season in numbers

The Bhoys snapped the astounding forward up from Greek facet Aris all through the summer time transfer window beforehand of the 2023/24 campaign and he has been a revelation so far.

It has no longer taken him any time to adapt to Scottish football as the proficient whiz hit the floor going for walks at Parkhead and set up himself as a key player for the former Leicester manager.

He has been a respectable scoring option for Rodgers with 5 goals in 17 Premiership fits to date. Only David Turnbull (seven), Kyogo Furuhashi (eight), and Matt O’Riley (ten) have scored extra than him within the squad.

The 23-year-old ace also showcased his offensive abilities on the biggest stage with two goals in 4 starts in the Champions League in the past this term.

Palma’s biggest strength, however, has been his creativity. The right-footed magician has produced nine assists and 3.4 key passes per fit across his 17 league outings, to go along with 11 ‘big chances’ created for his teammates.

Meanwhile, no other Celtic player has racked up greater than seven assists or provided more than 2.6 key passes over recreation in the Premiership this season.

These records suggest that the Honduras international has been the club’s most-creative ahead so far this time period and the most likely player to unpick an opposition defence.

Therefore, Palma may want to be the best player for a new centre-forward to play alongside as he has the first-class to persistently create magnificent chances for them to discover the again of the internet with.

The records that show Shankland should be lethal for Celtic

Shankland ought to be a lethal striker at Parkhead with the modern Celtic star’s help based totally on his fantastic structure for Hearts over the ultimate 18 months.

Last season, the 28-year-old marksman plundered an eye-catching 24 dreams and 4 assists in 37 appearances and 33 Premiership starts for the Jam Tarts.

He has confirmed that his elegant return in front of goal remaining time period used to be no longer a flash in the pan. The £3m-rated ahead is currently the pinnacle scorer in the Scottish top-flight with thirteen goals.

These statistics suggest that Celtic would be bringing in a established scorer at this level and someone who has outperformed Rodgers’ present day quantity nine – Kyogo – each in terms of dreams and effectivity when it comes to taking ‘big chances’.

Therefore, the former Dundee United finisher would no longer waste as many massive probabilities in the front of goal as the Japan worldwide has, which may want to result in Palma being rewarded with greater assists for his top notch creativity.

Journalist Philip West hailed Shankland as a “big sport player” and that is backed up with the aid of his report this season. The Hearts captain has scored twice – in separate fits – in opposition to Celtic and as soon as against Rangers in the Premiership.

He additionally produced a moment of magic, as proven in the video above, in the 93rd minute of the Edinburgh derby in opposition to Hibernian to tightly closed a 1-0 win for his side.

This indicates that the Scottish ace is constructed for the huge event and, therefore, has the mentality required to be a success in a forced surroundings at Paradise as the skilled forward can step up in huge games to be a difference-maker.

Having a winger as great as Palma on the left of him at the pinnacle end of the pitch would also mean that he would get the possibilities that he wishes in the front of goal to be a elegant variety 9 for the Hoops, which is why Rodgers need to push to land his signature earlier than the give up of the month.

Barry Ferguson responds to Scott Brown’s title claims by supporting Rangers

Barry Ferguson has answered to Scott Brown’s claims that the Scottish Premiership title race is over already, insisting Rangers are nevertheless right in the mix.

Former Celtic skipper Brown regarded in the press this week where he mentioned the significance of the derby day victory for Brendan Rodgers’ aspect on December 30.

Ferguson agrees that the recreation at the turn of the 12 months was a massive one in the title race, however he is now not ruling out his former side simply yet, mainly given they have two games in hand over their rivals.

He wrote in the Daily Record: “I’ll say this about Scott Brown – he used to be continually up for a laugh.

“And, proper to form, my old Scotland team-mate gave me a snicker when I picked up my Daily Record on Thursday to discover he has declared the title race as correct as over already.

I don’t be aware of if this used to be simply Broonie being a wind-up service provider due to the fact he does enjoy getting under people’s skin. Or possibly he actually believes it.

He’s a former Celtic captain, after all, and doing his speakme from the different side of the fence. Which is honest enough.

“But, if that’s the case, then he’s solely kidding himself on. I’m now not writing this with my blue-tinted specs on either. And I’m no longer making an attempt to make headlines for the sake of it. But I firmly accept as true with this top-flight warfare is going all the way down to the wire and each person who thinks it’s carried out and dusted already desires to provide themselves a shake. Yes, I admit, I’d instead be in Celtic’s position at this midway point.

As I continually stated as a player, I a good deal select to have the video games played and the factors on the board. But, with Rangers having two games in hand, it’s not possible to say that it’s all over and to sincerely mean it.

“Don’t get me wrong, I’m not criticising Broonie for speaking Celtic up. It’s only natural that he’ll take their side the equal way as I do with my old club. But, come on man, this component is vast open and everyone knows it.

My truthful opinion is it’s impossible to predict how it’s all going to quit up. I do absolutely expect Rangers to win these video games towards Hibs and Ross County and reduce the gap at the top to two points.”

Rodgers is considering a move to Celtic for their “impressive” £14k-per-week marksman, viewed as Hooper 2.0

The Hoops are reportedly looking at a viable swoop to signal the centre-forward.

Celtic were exceeded a raise earlier this month as Japan decided no longer to call Kyogo Furuhashi up alongside teammates Reo Hatate and Daizen Maeda for the 2023 Asian Cup.

However, fellow centre-forward Hyeon-gyu Oh has been chosen to feature for South Korea at the match and will be unavailable for the Hoops till the cease of his country’s involvement.

Kyogo is nonetheless searching for a return to the top of his powers as the Japanese striker has solely observed the lower back of the net eight instances in 22 Scottish Premiership appearances.

Last season, the 28-year-old plundered 27 goals in 31 league begins and averaged one strike each and every 87 minutes of action for the Glasgow giants.

His scoring frequency has dropped to one goal every one hundred ninety minutes of league football this term, which illustrates his drop-off in form since Brendan Rodgers arrived.

This, alongside with Oh’s involvement at the Asian Cup, appears to have caused the club to desire to dip into the market to add another range nine to their squad during the January transfer window.

Celtic switch news – Joe Gelhardt

The Daily Mail have pronounced that Leeds United striker Joe Gelhardt is attracting interest from Scottish giants Celtic and Rangers this month.

Rodgers seems to be eyeing up a swoop to land the former Wigan prospect, who has struggled for sport time with Daniel Farke’s side so a ways this season.

They should face opposition from England for the gifted ace, though, as journalist Alan Nixon these days stated – via his Patreon – that Championship facet Blackburn Rovers are also pursuing a pass for him, alongside his teammate Charlie Cresswell.

However, the Daily Mail file does now not expose whether it would be a mortgage or a permanent deal for the English youngster, or whether or not or no longer the Whites are organized to let him go away earlier than the stop of the window.

A permanent deal ought to be the way to go for the Hoops as it would enable them to deliver him in as a long-term addition with the doable to enhance over the years to come.

At the age of 21, Gelhardt is still in the infancy of his first-team profession and has masses of time left in advance of him to enhance and grow as a player, which Celtic may also no longer advantage from if they are only able to signal him on mortgage until the stop of the modern-day campaign.

With a long-term deal for the gifted youngster, Rodgers ought to unearth the club’s subsequent model of Gary Hooper with the aid of securing a deal for the Leeds gem.

The former Hoops marksman, like Gelhardt, used to be a stocky and undersized centre-forward who made a identify for himself through his prolific scoring ability in Scottish football.

Gary Hooper’s record for Celtic

Celtic signed the English finisher from Scunthorpe United in the summer time of 2010 and he went on to revel in three tremendous years at Parkhead.

The five foot 9 attacker, who did now not reduce an imposing figure for opposition defences at the pinnacle end of the pitch, hit the ground going for walks with 22 goals and 9 assists in 36 appearances in all competitions.

That covered a incredible return of 20 desires and nine assists in 26 Scottish Premiership appearances, which is extra than one intention contribution per recreation on average.

Hooper accompanied that up with 29 goals and eleven assists in 50 fits in all competitions for the Hoops – which includes two desires and one assist in five Europa League outings.

His remaining marketing campaign in Scotland ended with a sublime return of 31 desires and ten assists in 51 games for Celtic. He scored two dreams in seven Champions League clashes and two dreams in 4 qualifiers for the competition.

Hooper’s haul of 20-plus desires in three consecutive seasons for the club used to be not matched till Odsonne Edouard carried out the equal feat by using 2021.

In total, the stunning ace plundered 82 dreams and 30 assists in 137 appearances for the Scottish giants in all competitions. This capacity that the English ace averaged a goal or an aid every 1.22 matches.

He then sealed a everlasting swap to Norwich City in England and went on to score 20 dreams in 70 games for the Canaries, with six desires in 32 Premier League appearances.

During his time with Celtic, Hooper was once a prolific scorer who additionally had the capability to convey his teammates into the sport with a solid return of assists, no matter his brief and stocky build as a wide variety nine.

The records that exhibit why Celtic must sign Gelhardt

Rodgers should unearth a striker with comparable qualities to the ex-Norwich megastar by using signing Gelhardt, who also stands at five foot 9 with a stocky build.

At the age of 21, the Leeds teen is far from the finished article and there is no guarantee that he will be an immediate hit at Parkhead this season. However, if they can land him on a permanent foundation then the conceivable is there for him to strengthen into Hooper 2.0.

Gelhardt has only made six appearances in the Championship for the Whites this season and spent the second half of of the 2022/23 campaign on mortgage with Sunderland.

As you can see from the table above, the former England U20 global struggled to furnish regular fantastic as a scorer or a creator for the Black Cats remaining term.

However, Gelhardt did show promise in his restricted Premier League minutes with Leeds formerly in his career. He plundered two goals and six assists in 35 appearances, despite only six of those coming as a starter.

The Celtic target’s report at formative years level, however, is what Rodgers might also be searching at as an indication that he could boost into a deadly scorer for the club.

Gelhardt scored five dreams in 5 games for Wigan at U18 level and then went on to produce 20 goals and six assists in 31 outings for Leeds’ U21s.

This skill that the £14k-per-week marksman, whose motion was hailed as “impressive” by journalist Josh Bunting, racked up 25 dreams and six assists in 36 childhood group video games before making a first-team breakthrough.

That is a return of one aim contribution each and every 1.16 fits on average, which is a very similar degree of manufacturing in comparison to Hooper’s time with Celtic.

Therefore, Rodgers should unearth the club’s new prolific English marksman by way of striking a deal for Gelhardt and supporting him to unlock his achievable at first-team level.

Kuhn first impressions, Bernabei verdict… 3 things we learned as Celtic beat Ross County

Celtic continued their winning form in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday, beating Ross County 1-0 at Celtic Park.

The Bhoys made it six victories in a row across all competitions thanks to a heavily deflected Alistair Johnston strike in the opening seconds of the match.

County gave a good account of themselves and Derek Adams’ team did create a few passages of play that made the win a nervy watch for Celtic supporters.

The league leaders were undoubtedly not at their best but it was an important three points to bank with second-placed side Rangers winning earlier in the day.

With intrigue surrounding Brendan Rodgers’ squad options at the end of this transfer window and some big matches ahead, what were the main takeaways from this one? Here are three of ours.

Nicolas Kuhn makes his Celtic debut
After signing in the build-up to last week’s Scottish Cup win over Buckie Thistle, Celtic fans were made to wait for Nicolas Kuhn’s first appearance but the German got a solid run out in the second half of today’s win.

Kuhn was brought on in the 64th minute for the misfiring Luis Palma, slotting in on the left flank, then switching to the right wing when Mikey Johnston was substituted on for Liel Abada.

He looked eager to get involved in the action but in truth, this was a lacklustre Celtic team performance and it was hard for the German to capitalise on any attacking momentum and break down Ross County.

Brendan Rodgers on Alexandro Bernabei Celtic start

Speaking pre-match, the Bhoys boss explained to BBC Radio Scotland that while there is a “brutal honesty” about his Celtic situation, Bernabei has nonetheless impressed in training.

Rodgers said when asked why the defender was included: “We’ve got players that can play the position but I think just for his balance of being left-sided.

“I think he hasn’t had his best time here, that’s the brutal honesty of it. I just asked him to play in the games like what I’ve seen from him in training at times.

“He’s aggressive, he’s quick but he needs to serve the ball with precision a little better. He has qualities, that’s why he was signed. He’s a guy who can hopefully show his best form because in training I’ve seen lots of good qualities from him. Greg Taylor has played at a really, really good level consistently.

“Bernabei gives us balance on that side of the field being naturally left-footed and he can be aggressive going forward. Hopefully, he can do well.”

Bernabei has been one of the big contenders to leave the club during the winter transfer window given his lack of minutes so far under Rodgers. However, Taylor’s injury may well have changed that.

Even if Celtic sign another left-back in the closing days of the window, Bernabei could be needed for cover while the Bhoys wait on Taylor’s return.

The chances of him being a long-term option for Celtic are slim at this point, but Bernabei could well get a run in the team that boosts his confidence and unlocks a bit of form.

Ange Postecoglou was impressed by how £164,000-a-week Tottenham star played vs Celtic

Ange Postecoglou did not hesitate when Tottenham Hotspur had the chance to sign Timo Werner, having watched him in action against his former club Celtic.

That is according to Football.London, which has shared how receptive Tottenham head coach Postecoglou was to the idea of bringing former Chelsea forward to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

So, what has been reported about Timo Werner and Ange Postecoglou? Let’s take a look.

Ange Postecoglou rates Timo Werner highly
Well, earlier this month, Tottenham Hotspur signed Timo Werner from RB Leipzig.

The North London club secured the services of the £164,000-a-week (SalarySport) Germany international forward on loan until the end of the season.

Werner has already made his debut for Tottenham, who have the option to make his loan deal permanent in the summer of 2024. The 27-year-old started against Manchester United and impressed Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou.

Football.London has now reported that Postecoglou did not hesitate when Spurs Technical Director Johan Lange pushed the signing of Werner.

The report has claimed that Postecoglou “agreed that he would fit into his system well after seeing first hand how the 27-year-old had given his Celtic team all kinds of problems with RB Leipzig”.

MORE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STORIES

On October 5, 2022, RB Leipzig beat Celtic 3-1 in Germany in the UEFA Champions League. Werner started the match for the German club.

Then the following week, Leipzig won 2-0 against Celtic at Celtic Park. Werner scored in the 75th minute.

My View: Timo Werner a no-risk signing for Spurs
In my opinion, Timo Werner is a ‘no-risk’ signing for Tottenham Hotspur.

It is a loan deal, so if the former Chelsea forward fails to make a huge impact at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the coming weeks and months, then the North London club could just send him back to RB Leipzig at the end of the season.

I do not think that Werner should be used as a central striker. He is not prolific and misses chances. The German is best used out wide.

Tottenham are very much in the running for the Premier League top four and could even challenge for the title this season.

BBC man reacts to Celtic target who “ticks all the boxes” at Parkhead

Celtic, top of the Scottish Premiership and on course to seal yet another league title under Brendan Rodgers after he returned last summer, have the opportunity to strengthen even further this month. And whilst they’re reportedly unlikely to land one particular deal, pundit Alan Hutton believes that the Scottish giants should be optimistic ahead of the summer.

Celtic transfer news
With the January window well underway, Celtic have been linked with reinforcements that could help them on their way to a third consecutive league title.

According to reports, Celtic have held talks with Gwangju FC midfielder Jung Ho-Yeon in what could prove to be a shrewd piece of business if all goes well. Meanwhile, the Bhoys have already sealed a deal from elsewhere this month, welcoming Nicolas Kuhn from Rapid Vienna.

After signing on the dotted line, Kuhn said: “Celtic is one of the biggest clubs around and I’m really happy to be here. At Celtic, it’s about doing all we can to win every game, so that is the challenge here. I can’t wait to get going and do my very best for our supporters.”

Tommy-conway-bristol-city

Celtic are now interested in winning race to sign Tommy Conway
A player that Rodgers may not be able to welcome with open arms this month, however, is Caoimhin Kelleher.

According to reports, Liverpool will reject any bids for Kelleher this month, but Hutton believes that Celtic should be optimistic about their chances to secure a summer deal for the target.

Talking to Football Insider, the former Premier League full-back and BBC pundit said: “He’s an outstanding goalkeeper. We don’t see too much of him at Liverpool, but when it comes to the cup games, Jurgen Klopp obviously trusts him a lot for him to go and play. Every time I’ve watched him, I think he’s been amazing.

“He’s only 25 years old at this stage, so obviously with the Joe Hart situation, the fans always wanted to see somebody come in and put pressure on him.

I can’t see it happening in January, to be honest, but fans should be more optimistic about it happening in the summer. With his experience at a big football club, he ticks all the boxes. They’ll be looking at him as the long-term replacement.”

“Outstanding” Kelleher could be the perfect Hart replacement
With Hart’s contract set to expire this summer as things stand, Celtic may have no choice but to turn to the market for a fresh face in between the sticks. And they should look no further than Kelleher.

Rooted behind Alisson Becker in the pecking order at Liverpool, mainly thanks to how incredible the Brazilian is, rather than anything against the Celtic target, Kelleher is at somewhat of a crossroads in his career.

kelleher-liverpool-celtic-transfer-gossip-livakovic
At 25, it could be the perfect time to bring an end to his Anfield career and instead move on and take a number one spot over a backup role. With experience in cup finals, the Champions League and the Premier League already under his belt, he could be the perfect long-term replacement for Hart.

Although a deal seems unlikely this month, Celtic should swoop in this summer to sign the Liverpool shot-stopper, whose need for a number-one spot is growing more and more desperate with each season.

Rangers stance shared as Leeds eye move to sign “magic” player
A reliable reporter has provided a key update.

borna-barisic-rangers-europa-league-clement
Rangers could lose a “special” player during the January transfer window, with a new transfer report claiming a big English club are eyeing a move for him.

Rangers transfer news
The Gers could delve into the transfer market this month, as Philippe Clement looks to further perfect his squad between now and the end of the season.

A host of different left-backs have been linked with moves to Ibrox, ahead of the possible exit of Ridvan Yilmaz, with Liverpool youngster Owen Beck and Benfica ace David Jurasek among those in the mix to come in.

That isn’t the only position that is being focused on, however, with West Ham right-back Ben Johnson someone who Rangers are fighting other clubs for, as he looks increasingly likely to leave the London Stadium before the month comes to an end.

Leeds want Rangers ace Borna Barisic
According to a new update from Football Scotland’s reliable reporter Mark Hendry, Leeds United are among the clubs interested in signing Rangers left-back Borna Barisic, however, a new contract at Ibrox is also not ruled out. Yilmaz’s exit is also possible, ahead of a potential switch to Galatasaray.

borna-barisic-rangers-scottish-premiership
“Borna Barisic has suitors this month in Leeds United and around Europe in France, Spain and Germany but Gers want him to sign a new contract and have put the question forward for the left-back to consider. Meanwhile another left-back, Ridvan Yilmaz, is still having his future discussed with Hellas Verona wanting the player. Galatasaray reportedly had a bid rejected as Gers look to move him on.”

Barisic has been a brilliant player for Rangers over a significant period of time, racking up a total of 224 appearances for the Scottish Premiership giants, so losing him midway through the season could be a blow, given his experience of title races in the past.

The 31-year-old is also someone who was lauded by Steven Gerrard during his time as Gers manager, with the Liverpool legend hailing a brilliant goal he scored back in 2019:

“It’s a moment of magic. I always felt that it would take a moment of brilliance from one of the front men or wide men, or a really well-executed free-kick. Thankfully Borna stepped up and he deserves all the credit that he gets. I’ve seen him do that many times on the training pitch but it’s alright doing that when nobody’s there. You’ve got to do it in big moments so fair play to him.”

This season, Barisic has started nine league games, invariably sharing playing time with Yilmaz, also winning an average of 1.8 aerial duels per game, and it would be better to keep hold of him for the time being, especially if his fellow left-back moves on.

Celtic 2 Rangers 3: Instant reaction to the burning issues

Rangers claimed a late win over Celtic in the Sky Sports Cup semi-final..

Rangers sealed their spot in the Sky Sports Cup final after a breathless victory over rivals Celtic.

A bonkers cup tie saw three penalties awarded and a stoppage-time winner in front of enthusiastic split support.

Celtic snatched a lead against the run of play in the second half with Chloe Craig firing home a penalty after a handball against Kathryn Hill.

The Rangers defender made up for her error shortly after though as she forced over the line after a stramash in the box.

With ten minutes left Rangers turned the match on its head as Rio Hardy cut back for Kirsty Maclean who coolly slotted into the bottom corner.

With one minute left, though, Celtic were awarded a second penalty, this time Tessel Middag was adjudged to have fouled in the box even if TV replays suggested she got more than a fair touch on the ball. Craig made no mistake to level again.

But Rangers would have the last laugh to seal the win with a penalty of their own after 95 minutes. Caitlin Hayes had pulled down Hardy in the box and the Rangers striker blasted home to win and send her side into the final.

Cruel start for Elena Sadiku

It was always going to go one of two ways for new Celtic boss Elena Sadiku.

Either, a memorable triumph over rivals Rangers in her dugout debut, or a cruel defeat.

However, no one could have called such a difficult defeat with a losing goal coming with seconds left in added time.

Sadiku wants to be the Queen of Queens for Celtic and that could still come to pass, but as evident at the Excelsior there will always be bumps along the way.

Rangers get the job done

With 12 goals in their previous two outings, it was always expected Rangers would score.

Perhaps less predictable would be the somewhat blunt attack as Jo Potter’s side struggled to find a cutting edge.

Multiple opportunities were passed up, and more denied by the impressive Kelsey Daugherty and the Celtic defence.

Importantly, though, Rangers found a way. First, forcing over the line with Hill and then a terrific finish from Maclean.

And when it came to the crucial moment, Hardy made no mistake.

Incredible entertainment

Three penalties, end-to-end stuff no VAR and an intense rivalry thrown into the mix – that sounds like a recipe for entertainment.

Thankfully, that was exactly the case at the Excelsior as Rangers toppled Celtic in a crazy 97 minutes of action in the Sky Sports Cup.

There was a healthy dose of nerves, quality and dubious decisions all making a great advert for women’s football in Scotland with BBC Alba covering the contest live.

Our women’s game is not in the limelight as often as it should be, and an incredible cup tie was just another statement that the product is there.

Report: Southampton keen on signing £6.5m-rated Celtic target

Southampton are ready to make a move to sign Aberdeen striker Bojan Miovski, who is being tracked by Celtic. The 24-year-old has been watched by the Scottish Champions at various points this season with a view to strengthening in attack.

According to Record Sport, Southampton’s talent spotter Darren Mowbray has been telling the hierarchy to make a January move to take the North Macedonian International to the South Coast.

Aberdeen signed Miovski from MTK Budapest in the summer of 2022. Since arriving in the North East of Scotland, Miovski has scored 32 goals and assisted on 6 occasions in 69 appearances. Mowbray was the man that headed up transfers at Pittodrie and now he’s pitching for Miovski to make the move to the English Championship.

Brendan Rodgers has said that he wants to bring quality into the team and it is expected that between two and four signings will arrive in January. Kyogo and Oh have struggled for form, whether by supply or stuttering confidence, so in the attacking third is a priority.

Southampton have enjoyed buying from Scotland in recent years with Stuart Armstrong, Victor Wanyama, Virgil Van Dijk and Fraser Forster all arriving from Celtic. Most recently, Joe Aribo went from Rangers in 2022 and Southampton were relegated.

“I Would Expect” – Dundee Loan Star Tipped for Celtic Move

Kenny Miller has suggested that Celtic should consider Dundee’s Owen Beck for a potential transfer.

26th December 2023; Dens Park, Dundee, Scotland; Scottish Premiership Football, Dundee versus Celtic; Paulo Bernardo of Celtic celebrates with his team mates after he shoots and scores to make it 1-0 in the 52nd minute

Beck, currently on loan from Liverpool, has made a significant impact in the Scottish Premiership, catching Miller’s attention with his performances.

Miller’s endorsement comes at a time when Celtic Rangers are reportedly in the market for reinforcements in the left-back position. Celtic is looking for a player to challenge Greg Taylor, with it clear that Alexandro Bernabei is not of the desired quality. The Portuguese left-back, Arujo, has been heavily linked with the Hoops over the past few weeks.

Speaking on BBC Radio, quoted by Football Scotland, Miller said, “I’m looking forward to seeing Owen Beck today. The games that I’ve seen him this year he’s been absolutely outstanding. This goes again to show the loans and opportunities that can be presented, from the big clubs in England up to Scotland to play.

“I would expect, for me, maybe the big two up here to be having a look at this player. Both of them could do with a player in that area of the pitch and he’s been outstanding.”

He didn’t impress too much during the ninety minutes on boxing day, but he did make the most tackles in the match, playing on the left of a back 5. He looked comfortable enough defensively, but Celtic are looking to add experience and quality to the squad, I don’t think the 21-year-old will fall under that bracket.

Celtic squad trim begins as Bhoys accept transfer offer

Brendan Rodgers and Celtic are expected to trim several fringe players from the Bhoys squad in the upcoming transfer window.

The Bhoys boss has admitted his playing group is too large and that he wants to reduce overall first-team numbers to around 25 across January and next summer.

Work is already underway and, in fact, the first confirmed exit could come quickly.

The Daily Record reports that Celtic have agreed on a £870,000 fee with Vissel Kobe in Japan to sell midfielder Yosuke Ideguchi, calling time on his ill-fated move to the Bhoys.

Ideguchi arrived in the same transfer window as Reo Hatate and Daizen Maeda during the Ange Postecoglou reign but struggled to make the same impact as his compatriots.

The midfielder picked up an unfortunate injury in a Scottish Cup shortly after joining the Hoops and went on to make just six appearances in total.

He joined Avispa Fukuoka on loan for the 2023 J-League season and impressed in his 32 appearances, even earning a Player of the Year nomination.

MORE CELTIC STORIES

Now it appears that Vissel Kobe have won the race for his signature and will allow Celtic to recoup the fee paid for him in the first place.

The J-League transfer window officially opens in mid-January ahead of their 2024 campaign so expect to hear official confirmation of his permanent transfer over the next couple of weeks.

There are plenty of other big contenders to leave the Bhoys next month too as Rodgers looks to shift players who aren’t currently contributing significantly.

Hopefully, it frees up space to bring in the ‘quality’ that the Celtic manager desires.

Aston Villa want title-winning £26m midfielder who ‘glides about the pitch’

Aston Villa have reportedly set their sights on Celtic’s Matt O’Riley ahead of the January transfer window.

The Villans are flying high in the Premier League and in Europe, and could well look to bolster their ranks further in January to maintain their momentum.

According to Sky Sports, Villa are one of several teams that have been watching O’Riley with a view to a potential approach.

As well as the Villans, the likes of West Ham, PSV Eindhoven, Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan are reportedly eyeing the midfielder.

The Sky Sports report claims Inter are prepared to offer an initial loan until the end of the season with an obligation to buy him in the summer.

In terms of price tag, Fabrizio Romano previously claimed that any team wishing to sign O’Riley would have to break the Scottish transfer record.

This currently stands at £25million, the fee Celtic received when they sold Portuguese winger Jota to Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ittihad in the summer.

MORE ASTON VILLA STORIES

Aston Villa one of multiple teams in pursuit of Matt O’Riley

Villa have struck gold multiple times in the transfer market this year, and O’Riley would be another outstanding addition to the claret-and-blue ranks.

The 23-year-old is on nine goals and eight assists for the season so far, an especially great tally when you consider he’s a central midfielder.

Furthermore, three of his assists have come in the Champions League, showing how apt he is at the highest level.

In October, Sky Sports pundit Kris Boyd backed O’Riley to be “one of the next ones to go in terms of big money” from the Scottish top flight.

Boyd said on Sky Sports: “You could sit and watch Matt O’Riley play football all day. He’s a top-class player.

“He glides about the pitch and Brendan Rodgers has obviously asked him to get forward more this season. He is reaping the benefits of that.”

Villa – or any other suitors – would likely be looking at £26million and over for O’Riley.

It’s a fairly hefty price tag, but considering Declan Rice went for over £100million, it goes to show that an elite midfielder is worth his weight in gold. And O’Riley has the makings of one.

At the same time, the reigning Scottish champions only have a two-point lead at the top over second-placed Rangers, who have a game in hand. They may refuse to sell O’Riley until the summer at least.

Brendan Rodgers tried to sign £35m PL player during first spell at Celtic

News that Celtic could be interested in Wolves striker, Fabio Silva hit the headlines just prior to this weekend.

TBR Celtic told how the £35m striker is of interest to Brendan Rodgers on Thursday and it seems that this isn’t the only time the Hoops gaffer tried to land him in Paradise.

Former Celtic striker, Andy Walker, was speaking about Fabio Silva and he revealed that his old club tried to sign the Portuguese striker back in Rodgers’ first stint as Hoops boss.

Walker said [The Go Radio Football Show], “He was on Celtic’s radar a number of years ago. I remember doing a game down south when he was playing for Wolves and they were all talking about the interest from Celtic.

“I mean he’s got skill, he’s got ability, he’s played at a good level and that was during Brendan Rodgers’ first spell in charge when he was here with Chris Davies.

“But he’s certainly been on their radar before.”

Now, you might ask what’s the point of that? It was five years ago. Well now that Rodgers has been banging on about adding quality and questions have been raised about whether or not he is in charge of Celtic’s recruitment, at least now the club are linked with a player that Rodgers clearly likes.

Fabio Silva Celtic striker?

Could the young 21-year-old forward really do a job for Celtic? The Portugal u21 international has made 159 career appearances at both youth and senior level.

MORE CELTIC STORIES

In that time he has scored just 32 goals and created 18 assists. However his goalscoring rate at U21 International is very impressive.

Ten in 19 appearances for his country, which includes a hattrick against Liechtenstein in July 2022, is not to be sniffed at so clearly, the young man does have an eye for goal. [Transfermarkt]

Obviously, if any deal were to be brokered between Wolves and Celtic it would be with a view to loan. With the EPL club shelling out £35m for the striker, despite being cash-rich, Celtic are in no place to get anywhere near that figure to bring him to Paradise permanently.

Transfer Latest – Celtic eye Ipswich’s Czechia keeper Vaclav Hladky

Celtic have been linked with former St Mirren goalkeeper Vaclav Hladky as the shot-stopper nears the end of his contract. The Czech Republic star is currently at high-flying Ipswich Town in the English Championship and Kieran McKenna is eager to get the ex-Buddies man tied down on fresh terms as they bid to get promotion to the Premier League.

Vaclav Hladky

It’s no secret that the Bhoys will need a new netminder soon as Joe Hart enters the final months of his contract and will be 37 in any case. Joe has been a great servant to the club but I think we can all agree the time has come for him to step down from the number one position at the club and give a younger, fresher body a chance at the role. With Benjamin Seigrist and Scott Bain on the books, Brendan Rodgers will need to move someone on before he signs a new ‘keeper.

Vaclav Hladky

The club have been linked with various shot-stoppers as they try and succession plan for Joe’s potential retirement or if he decides to just move on from Celtic Park and remain in the game somewhere else. Andriy Lunin of Real Madrid has been strongly linked with a move to the Scottish Premiership Champions and there have been links to Kilmarnock loan star, Will Dennis too, although Rodgers has admitted he doesn’t see it as a priority this coming transfer window.

Czech media publication iSPORT have reported that the Hoops have reignited interest in his services and say the sources are from Scotland too. The 33-year-old will be free to speak to potential suitors next month and whilst Celtic do retain an interest, the goalkeeper may view it as his last shot at the big time of the English Premier League and the wages that could be on offer there. However, nothing is set in stone and Ipswich still need to get there so this could also play on his mind. If Celtic win the Scottish League this year it’s direct entry into the UEFA Champions League group stages which is also a very attractive proposition.

Glasgow Derby Injury Concern for Celtic

Celtic emerged victorious with a 2-0 win over Livingston, a welcome relief following back-to-back defeats.

However, the triumph came with a tinge of concern as right-back Alistair Johnston appeared to suffer an injury towards the end of the match.

He looked to have pulled up injured, making him a concern for the Glasgow Derby next week.

The game saw Kyogo breaking his goal drought. Kyogo found the net, marking an end to his recent period without goals. This strike set the tone for Celtic’s dominance in the match.

Liam Scales doubled Celtic’s lead by heading in a corner from Palma.

Impressively, Palma also played a crucial role in setting up Kyogo’s goal, showcasing his ability to orchestrate key plays.

The Green Brigade returned to the stands for the win. The group made their presence felt for the first time in 13 games after being absent due to a ban.

Hopefully Brendan Rodgers can provide a positive update on the right back.

There’s a lot of frustration”-journalist react to “strange” involving Celtic star

Kyogo Furuhashi now in ‘strange situation’ at Celtic

Celtic forward Kyogo Furuhashi looks to have been asked to play a different role under Brendan Rodgers at Parkhead.

HIGHLIGHTS

Celtic forward Kyogo Furuhashi’s goalscoring form under Brendan Rodgers has been “a bit strange” at Parkhead.

The Japan international has been asked to play a different role, drifting wide and dropping back, affecting his goalscoring form for the Hoops.

Celtic could look to trim their squad during the 2024 winter transfer window, with Nat Phillips and Alexandro Bernabei preparing for exits.

Celtic star Kyogo Furuhashi’s lack of goalscoring form under Brendan Rodgers has is “a bit strange” and has caused “a lot of frustration”, as journalist Dean Jones considers his performances as a whole at Parkhead.

The Hoops have enjoyed a positive start to the 2023/24 Scottish Premiership season, but a recent wobble in results will have created a sense of unease around Celtic Park.

Furuhashi has been operating across the front three for Rodgers’ outfit but hasn’t been utilised as the out-and-out striker he has been used to over the past two seasons. Celtic hope to recover from their early European exit and storm to a Premiership and Scottish Cup double.

Kyogo Furuhashi’s career at Celtic

In the summer of 2021, Celtic signed Furuhashi in a deal worth £4.6m from Vissel Kobe, as then-head coach Ange Postecoglou looked to develop a side capable of challenging for the Scottish Premiership title.

The Hoops had been beaten to the post by Rangers at a canter during the 2020/21 campaign and needed a rebuild to topple their Glasgow neighbours.

The Japan international would score 12 Premiership goals in 20 appearances during his first season at Celtic, helping them win the league title alongside a Viaplay Cup triumph.

Having had issues with his fitness during his debut campaign at Parkhead, Furuhashi would find full fitness in his second, hitting the back of the net 27 times in 36 top-flight outings.

The 28-year-old’s goal contribution led to Postecoglou’s side securing a domestic treble during the 2022/23 campaign before the respected head coach departed south of the border to take the vacant job at Tottenham Hotspur.

During the 2023/24 campaign, Furuhashi has struggled to reach the same levels in front of goal. Before Celtic’s trip to Livingston on 23rd December, the centre-forward had scored eight goals and registered three assists in 25 outings for the Bhoys.

However, Furuhashi has been asked to drift into wide areas and drop back to retrieve the ball under Rodgers, operating differently from how he played under Postecoglou.

In November, Jones told GIVEMESPORT that Celtic would not be concerned by exit rumours surrounding Furuhashi after it emerged that Tottenham had sent their top scout to check on players at Postecoglou’s former club.

Jones has suggested that Furuhashi can play a different role under Rodgers but that his goalscoring form will suffer. The journalist claims “a lot of frustration” surrounds the change. Asked about Furuhashi’s form, Jones told GIVEMESPORT:

“It is a bit strange. There’s a lot of frustration around this because you’d wonder why it hasn’t happened for him so far. But I feel like he’s being asked to play differently now. While he does seem capable in football in terms of being decent in the wide areas that he appears to be being forced into a bit more, it’s starting to reflect badly on his stats. That’s the first thing people will point out when looking for somebody to blame.

“I think he is a clever player and can play in the way he’s being asked, even though it might not be natural to him. But when you’re used to scoring or seeing someone score goals, it’s tough to accept a role change in which they’re not doing that as often.”

Celtic transfer news on Nat Phillps and Alexandro Bernabei’s future

With the 2024 winter transfer window approaching, Rodgers must consider the future of some of his squad members, who may feel they aren’t getting the opportunities required to stick around at Parkhead.

According to Football Scotland, centre-back Nat Phillips will return to Liverpool following his loan at Celtic next month.

The 26-year-old joined the Glasgow giants on a short-term deal at the end of August but has looked out of sorts, having built up his match fitness.

Phillips, now a fringe player at Celtic Park, won’t see his loan extended further, and another move away from Anfield could be on the cards in January.

Meanwhile, The Sun reports that Alexandro Bernabei is poised to make a winter exit from Celtic in 2024.

The 24-year-old has failed to establish himself under Rodgers and has attracted interest from Italian clubs and outfits from his homeland in Argentina.

The Hoops are keen on signing Estoril’s Tiago Araujo, valued at £4m, to offer competition to Greg Taylor, with Bernabei likely to be the victim in his arrival.

Meanwhile, Football Scotland claims that Celtic have enquired with Austrian outfit Sturm Graz about the possibility of signing former target Szymon Wlodarczyk. However, his value has sky-rocketed to £15m, making a deal financially unviable for the one-time European Cup winners.

CELTIC’S £1m MYSTERY MAN

MYSTIFIED Celtic fans are still awaiting their first glimpse of South Korean midfielder Kwon Hyeon-kyu in competitive action.

Lazio 2-0 Celtic: Brendan Rodgers press…

The anchorman arrived in a £1million move – an initial £850,000 plus add-ons – from K-League outfit Busan IPark in July along with winger Yang Hyun-jun.

Under-21 international Kwon, with the reputation of a determined ball-winner in the middle of the park, played for 45 minutes in James Forrest’s Testimonial Match against Athletic Bilbao at Parkhead at the start of August on an evening Brendan Rodgers utilised 22 players of his first-team squad.

NOW YOU SEE ME…new Bhoy Kwon Hyeon-kyu proudly holds his Celtic jersey on July 25, the day after his arrival.

The 22-year-old enforcer also came on for Matt O’Riley in the 61st minute of the 1-1 draw with Wolves at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium a few days earlier.

Apart from that, there has been no sign of the Hoops’ mystery man although he was named in last weekend’s matchday squad for the home match against Hearts. That was only the fourth time time he has been stripped for action, but has yet to play a solitary minute for the Hoops.

Rodgers also ommitted Kwon from his 25-man squad that was registered with UEFA before the Champions League Group B meetings with Atletico Madrid, Lazio and Feyenoord.

It has become a bewildering situation without any likelihood of the midfielder, who signed a five-year contract in summer, edging closer to a first-team breakthrough.

Possibly next month’s transfer window will provide a solution.

BREAKING: Insane Russell Wilson News Has NFL Fans In Disbelief

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson has been having an up-and-down season in 2023. Although his 2022 debut with the team was one to forget, he has shown promise this season and has Denver in the mix of the playoff picture.

However, massive news has come out about the veteran quarterback regarding his playing time for the rest of the regular season, and it has put the NFL world into complete shock.

Sources: The #Broncos are, in fact, benching Russell Wilson for the final two games, preserving their financial flexibility for the offseason.

NFL Fans React

The Broncos have announced that Wilson will be benched for the rest of the 2023 season, and backup Jarrett Stidham will take the starting spot. This decision has already stirred up a ton of controversy amongst NFL fans, some saying that head coach Sean Payton is making a horrible decision, while others are saying that Wilson’s time in Denver is over.

That’s actually crazy lol I know they essentially blew their chance last week at the playoffs, but they’re still very much alive.

What does that mean? How is the financial flexibility affected by this?

This marks the end of Russell Wilson’s time in Denver

Broncos will release him prior to the 5th league day of 2024 and will take a massive dead cap hit

Broncos will then look for a new signal caller and Russ will have a similar treatment to Derek Carr last year

More like they’re trying to save themselves from paying Wilson his bonus 🤣🤣

Russell Wilson’s Career In Denver

Sean Payton needs the Denver Broncos to keep wide receivers for quarterback Russell Wilson

The veteran quarterback has had a drastic improvement in 2023 compared to his debut with the team in 2022. He has amounted to 3,070 passing yards, 26 touchdowns, and just eight interceptions this season.

In 2022, he went for 3,524 passing yards, 16 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. Wilson has not been as productive in the last two years as he was with the Seattle Seahawks for the vast majority of his career. He has proven that he is an elite quarterback over the years, but his stint with Denver has many thinking his career is coming to an end.

The Broncos are 7-8 and in third place in the AFC West division. While their playoff chances this season are slim after their heartbreaking loss to the New England Patriots this past weekend, benching Wilson seems like a weird move by the team at this point in the season. Will the veteran quarterback be on a different squad by the 2024 season, or will he decide to hang up the cleats after being benched?
