Celtic interest ‘has not diminished at all’ – winger still wanted after January shock

celtic’s It appears there remains interest in Fares Gedzemis despite a January rejection, a promotion-winning campaign and a sharp rise in the player’s valuation.

scottish champion Frosinone pushed to sign winger during the winter transfer window and even submitted an offer that looked capable of getting a deal done.

However, this move ultimately failed when The player decided he wanted to stay in Italy and help Frosinone secure promotion to Serie A.

Four months later, Celtic have not disappeared from the picture.

Italian journalist Roberto De Luca The report states that the Hoops’ interest in Gedzemis “has not diminished at all” and claims the club could soon re-establish contact for the Algerian winger.

Celtic keep an eye on after January disappointment

The update is notable as the situation has changed significantly since Celtic’s approach.

Gedzemis’ decision to stay has paid off. The 23-year-old played a major role in Frosinone’s promotion campaign, scoring 15 goals and adding three assists in 38 Serie B appearances, as the club finished second and secured an immediate return to the top flight.

His form in the second half of the season was particularly impressive. Nine of those goals came in 2026, helping him transform from a promising player into one of Serie B’s most productive attacking players.

Of course that increase did not go unnoticed. Frosinone officials have already stated publicly that the player’s value has increased dramatically since January.

Report in Italy He has suggested the club now value him at around €15m (£12.7m), which is significantly higher than the figure discussed during Celtic’s winter exploration.

what happens next?

Fares Gedzemis is currently with Algeria in a pre-World Cup training camp, another factor that could further boost his profile ahead of the summer market.

That international exposure is one reason why Celtic’s task may be more difficult than it was a few months ago. Since rejecting the move to Glasgow, the winger has earned promotion, enhanced his reputation and strengthened his position in the market.

Nevertheless, De Luca’s information suggests that Celtic are not ready to give up the chase.

It remains to be seen whether any new offerings emerge from this. However, despite the player’s January decision and the significant increase in his valuation, the Scottish champions continue to monitor a player they have clearly rated high enough to pursue once before.

Celtic ahead of Rangers in signing race – O’Neill’s side ready for talks, offer underway

celtic And ranger people In the summer Brøndby are attempting to bring IF’s Benjamin Tahirovic to Celtic Park and Ibrox respectively.

The Bosnia and Herzegovina international joined Brøndby IF from Ajax in February 2025. Before that, Sport Witness broadcast news Celtic showed a strong interest in him.

Martin O’Neill’s side are back in the mix and join Rangers and other clubs in the transfer race.

His performances for the Danish club have seen him attract interest from some European teams. The midfielder played 1,608 minutes in 32 matches this season.

His league statistics per game are as follows:

  • Appearances: 25
  • Start: 13
  • Total minutes: 1,198
  • Minutes per game: 48
  • Intercept: 0.5
  • Tackle: 0.9
  • Possession won (final third): 0.2
  • Recovery: 2.8
  • Clearance: 0.6
  • Blocked Shots: 0.4
  • Duel won: 2.0

Celtic and Rangers want the same player

sports games Cover the latest interest in Benjamin Tahirovic from Martin O’Neill and from Danny Rohl.

The same source previously reported FC Porto as interested, citing interest from Celtic and Rangers. It is said that Celtic have now decided to ‘go hunting’ for the 25-year-old.

Martin O’Neill’s side are ‘currently in the best position’ to sign him amid interest from Rangers, Porto and others. In other words, the Celtic Park club is ahead of the Ibrox club and the rest.

Celtic are ready to negotiate with the Danish club and are preparing an offer. Brøndby IF is too demanding, without even mentioning his request.

Tahirovic will represent his country at the World Cup, a spot they secured after defeating Italy in March. If he impresses in the tournament, his price could rise and attract more clubs.

Therefore, the Superliga side are in no rush to sell him as other unnamed clubs have reportedly started contacting the player.

Contract, price and agent information

Benjamin Tahirovic’s contract expires in 2028 and his value, according to transfer marketIs €4.5m. The highest price was €6m in December 2023, when he was at Ajax.

The agency Reset Group, headed by Italian agent Davide Lippi, is representing the Bosnians.

Celtic decide on permanent summer signing – €8m option will be exercised

Celtic have no plans to keep Tomas Cavankara this summer and will send him back to Borussia Monchengladbach at the end of his loan deal.

Sport Bild Report That Celtic do not intend to take up the €8m option to sign the striker after his extremely disappointing loan spell this season.

celtic disappointment

The newspaper covers various loan players from Gladbach today. He explains how he has performed this season while away from the German club.

While some are bracing for a permanent exit, Tomas Cuancara will not be one of them. According to him, Celtic have no plans for the 25-year-old player. They beat Rangers to his signature in JanuaryBut it did not work out.

He managed to score two goals in only nine games in his loan debut at Celtic. He then missed the end of the season after undergoing back surgery.

Whatever he showed in Scotland has not been enough to convince the Scottish champions to exercise his €8m purchase option. Therefore, Cuancaura will return to Borussia this summer.

His contract with them is till 2028 and he can return to the team in July. But the Bundesliga side aren’t planning on using him either.

next move

The expectation was that he would be successful in Scotland after a disappointing loan spell at Antalyaspor in the first half of the campaign. But this has not been proven to be the case.

Since arriving at Celtic at the end of January he has managed to feature in only 32% of available minutes.

Although he scored goals in wins over Falkirk and Motherwell, as well as assists against Hearts and Kilmarnock, his numbers were unimpressive.

The striker failed to manage more than 72 minutes in any of his appearances. He also did not feature in the 1–0 win over St Mirren in April.

Now he is being sent back to Borussia Mönchengladbach. They need to find another suitor and hopefully they can recoup any of the €10.5m they paid to sign him in 2023. With a current valuation of €2m, this could be a difficult task.

3 transfer scenarios for the Celtic player – loan would be most desired

Celtic defender Mike Nawrocki is wanted in Germany
Celtic defender Mike Nawrocki is wanted in Germany

celtic Defender Mike Nawrocki has three transfer scenarios on the table ahead of what is likely to be a busy summer transfer window.

BILD Hamburg reports today on the 24-year-old And there are a variety of ways the summer transfer window could go for him.

Three options for Celtic

The newspaper reports that, after failing to reach the promotion play-offs, Hannover 96 will bid farewell to eleven players on Monday. But their squad planners are hoping for a quick reunion with some of them, ideally in time for pre-season.

Director Ralph Becker is prepared to have the necessary conversations in the coming days. Those conversations were put on hold in the race for promotion.

There is a ‘sudden glimmer of hope’ when it comes to the Celtic loanee. Mike Nawrocki has earned his place at the club with a number of strong performances.

Transfer deal expected

Earlier it was considered impossible to keep him without promotion. But hopefully this will not happen. According to BILD, there are three possible scenarios.

The first is for Celtic to bring him back and ‘fully back’ him with the promise of a clear playing route and regular game time.

The second is that Celtic do not decide to build around a defender. This would mean that they would open the door to a permanent exit. Several clubs in Europe’s top leagues are currently monitoring the situation. He is estimated to be worth €1.5m.

The third option is that Celtic decide not to sell and instead opt for another loan. If that had been the chosen path, Hanover would suddenly find itself with a strong chance of re-securing Nawrocki.

2. The Bundesliga is seen as a high-quality destination for the defender to continue his development. He would also be guaranteed a starting place in Hanover.

Decisions need to be made, but these scenarios are on the table. Hanover is waiting to see what happens, with a possible decision as early as next week.

Celtic and Rangers shift battle for midfielder – front page story

celtic and Danny Rohl’s Rangers are expected to reshape parts of their midfield this summer, especially with European football again increasing the physical demands on their squads.

Recruitment from Scandinavia has also become a familiar route for Celtic and Rangers in recent years. This helps explain why Silas Anderson is now on their radar.

The 21-year-old BK Hacken midfielder has quietly become one of the most reliable performers in the Danish league over the past season. His combination of defensive intensity, ball-carrying and composure in possession is now attracting the interest of many countries.

According to Portuguese outlet recordBoth Celtic and Rangers are monitoring Anderson closely as Sporting moves forward with attempts to sign the midfielder.

The Portuguese newspaper reports that Sporting has already made preliminary contact with Hacken regarding a possible transfer. Hamburg and FC Köln are also interested, with Köln’s bid of €4m (£3.4m) already rejected.

Hacken is reportedly targeting around €7m (£5.9m) plus bonuses.

Why is Anderson attracting interest from Celtic and Rangers?

Celtic and Rangers involved in big record story
Celtic and Rangers involved in big record story

Silas Andersen has been one of the most consistent midfielders in the Danish league since last season. Although his physical profile is immediately imposing at 1.90 metres, he is much more technical than many might expect.

The Denmark U21 international is comfortable carrying the ball through the midfield and regularly beats opponents off the dribble. His control in tight spaces is another strong point, especially for a player of his frame.

Still, it’s defensively where Anderson makes the biggest impact. FootyStats data shows that he wins an average of about nine duels per game and completes about 2.4 tackles per match.

There is also offensive contribution in his game. Anderson leads the way with goals and assists, and Hacken believes there is still significant room for development.

The record state Sporting sees him as a medium-term project rather than a direct Replacement for Morten Hjulmand.

It could also be a good fit for Celtic and Rangers, who have shown a willingness to recruit young Scandinavian talents with resell potential in recent years.

what happens next

Silas Anderson’s situation is now likely to develop rapidly. Haken is aware that a number of clubs are circling, and the rejected Koln offer has already helped set a tough asking price.

For Celtic and Rangers, the attraction is obvious. Anderson combines physicality, defensive reliability and technical quality, while still being young enough to develop further.

A fee of around €7m (£5.9m) would still represent a large investment in Scottish football terms. However, growing Bundesliga and Portuguese interest could push both Glasgow clubs to make a decision sooner rather than later.

Celtic and Wolves ahead in transfer battle for 23-year-old – player wants the move

celtic And wolves Wolfsburger AC are interested in goalkeeper Nikolaus Polster, with the Austrian side preparing a move.

sky sports austria report WAC are demanding a transfer fee of at least €1.5m for the 23-year-old this summer.

Celtic and Wolves interest

They report that a list of clubs are showing interest in the Wolfsburger AC goalkeeper this summer. German clubs are keen on the 23-year-old, with Celtic and Wolves among the likes.

According to Sky information, the Austrian side will ask for around €1.5m and €2m for the goalkeeper this summer.

Nicholas Polster himself wants this move. He is looking to take the next step in his career and hopes to move abroad this summer.

The goalkeeper came through the youth ranks at SK Rapee and moved to LASK in the 2020 summer transfer window. He also had stints at Vorwärts Steyr and SV Horn before joining Wolfsberger in July 2024.

He has been number one since then, having played a total of 67 matches, conceding 79 goals and keeping 20 clean sheets. This season he has made 33 appearances and conceded 43 goals in all competitions.

goalkeeping changes

Now a move to the United Kingdom could be on the cards, with Celtic and Wolves both showing interest in the goalkeeper.

Celtic are possibly looking for a long-term replacement for Kasper Schmeichel. The Danish goalkeeper has faced criticism this season. Viljami Sinisalo and Ross Doohan are also in his team.

Wolves’ current options are Jose Sa, Sam Johnstone and Daniel Bentley. The latter is currently playing as the other two are injured. But big changes are likely to take place this summer following their return to the Championship.

Saw and Johnstone’s deals expire next summer, while Bentley’s current contract expires in 2028. At least two of them need to be resolved in the coming months. And it appears Niklas Polster is on his list.

Player explains why he rejected transfer to Celtic – he believes he made the right decision

celtic Frosinone were set to sign Fares Ghedjemis in January. Neither move ever worked but the player has no regrets about his decision.

sports witness Covered how the Hoops were initially surprised about the offer. This was largely in line with the winger’s valuation, but the player rejected the move, as he was keen to stay.

Frosinone has confirmed its return to Serie A. This is no small part of Gedzemis’ important contribution, as he has scored 15 times in Serie B. In 2026 alone, he has scored nine times, and provided two assists.

The player has now opened up about what happened when Celtic came for him.

Gedzemis goes public

The Algerian winger spoke at Frosinone’s celebration ceremony yesterday and was asked specifically about his decision to stay.

He explained that the atmosphere at Frosinone forced him to reject Celtic.

The attacker said- via Ciociariaoggi: : “Absolutely. That’s why I didn’t go over the summer. I could have gone, but I felt an energy that made me want to stay. And I’m happy with my choice.

“I’m proud and happy. We worked very hard, and I’m really happy to bring Frosinone back to where the club should be: in Italy’s top flight.”

The Algeria international was also asked about his plans for the World Cup.

he replied: “Yeah, hopefully. There are so many people, so much competition. I hope I’m ready for it. It would definitely be great to play in the World Cup.”

With Wolves and Norwich City linked with a move, Gedzemis hinted at his future.

“Let’s see. Right now I just want to enjoy the season we’ve had. Then, when the time comes, I’ll also think about the transfer market.”

All celtic hopes are destroyed

There have been suggestions that Gedzemis is now interested in a move to the Premier League. Which is why Wolves or Norwich City might not appeal to him, with the Midlands club now in the Championship.

This stance should also rule out a move towards Celtic.

Celtic need to move fast as rivals press for transfer – development expected this week

celtic If they want to sign Issa Doumbia from Venezia, they may need to move quickly, with Portuguese competition close behind.

calciomercato.it Doumbia is set to leave the Italian club this summer, the report says. At present, his future seems likely to be in Portugal only.

Portuguese efforts

They explain that after a remarkable season that saw him play a key role in Venezia’s promotion from Serie B, several major European clubs are now eyeing the 23-year-old.

In particular, two of Portugal’s top three clubs, Sporting Clube de Portugal and Benfica, want him. According to CM.it, Sporting has stepped up its efforts to secure a deal in recent days.

However, the deal is not yet complete, as Rui Costa and his colleagues at Benfica have also made ‘important progress’. There is a real Lisbon derby going on for the midfielder’s signature. New and important developments are expected at some points throughout this week.

This should probably be a warning sign for Celtic. The Scottish giants have been credited with interest over the months.

celtic need to move

Sport Witness also covered a report detailing how their interest is justified. Doumbia is undoubtedly a star on the rise and the growing interest in him is testament to that.

The fact that the Portuguese pair are both also Champions League clubs is further testament to this fact. Both are now pushing for a deal, also indicating they want to get in on it before competition gets too fierce.

Celtic may be busy focusing on their title challenge, which is certain to go all the way, but this may also be something they need to focus on. Failure to move quickly now could see them miss out on potential summer signings.

Sporting Clube de Portugal and Benfica are certainly working to make sure they win the race behind the scenes.

“Very significant offer from Celtic” – Bhoys bid confirmed if transfer decision successful

celtic Frosinone were interested in signing Fares Ghedjemis in January. Their decision to reject the move has now paid off.

sports witness Actively covered the approach of the hoops towards the end of the window. Celtic made an offer that seemed to have convinced the Serie B club, but the player himself decided to stay and help Frosinone return to the Italian top-flight.

That objective has now been achieved, with the Canarini having secured second place in Serie B.

Ghedjemis led the league by scoring 15 times. He has been particularly impressive in 2026, finding the net nine times. He scored in a 5–0 win over Mantova at the weekend, helping them achieve promotion.

Player was never keen on Celtic

Frosinone general manager Pietro Doronzo has spoken to Radio Sportiva about his club’s return to Serie A. The situation with Gedzemis was a typical subject, with the Italian appearing very grateful that the player stayed despite having the chance to leave.

He said- relayed by tuttomerkatoweb: : “In January, there was a real possibility that Gedzemis would leave: Celtic made a very important offer. President Stirpe, despite knowing how important he was to us, wanted to consult the boy, reiterating that Frosinone is not a prison.”

Doronzo explained the player’s stance and how that determination has now paid off.

“The player responded clearly: “I want to be here to win the championship. It was a risk to turn down that offer, but the President’s courage and the boy’s determination were rewarded. Today, Gedzemis has doubled in value, and his performance has been key to our ascent.

Celtic may no longer have a chance

Fares Gedzemis’ decision ended Celtic’s chance of signing the 23-year-old Algerian, who has now reached a new level.

Doronzo himself has confirmed that the winger’s value has doubled, which could now attract clubs from the Premier League and Serie A, with the chance to further impress at the World Cup.

Guedjamis is an Algerian international and looks set to continue his form in the summer. This would further damage Celtic’s chances of making a move for him, even if Frosinone were open to a sale.

Celtic are justified in wanting a midfielder – transfer target is a rising star

Issa Doumbia
Pescara, Italy – 13 September 2025: Doumbia Issa of Venezia during the Serie B match between Pescara Calcio – Venezia at the Adriatic Stadium

As Issa Doumbia of Venezia continues to grow, celtic Be on the lookout for a midfielder.

In January, sports witness Covered hoops interest in Italian. They were pursuing Doumbia throughout the campaign and, at the time, were facing competition from Udinese, Cremonese and Southampton.

The Saints actually made a formal approach for the talent in the summer of 2025. This step was taken too late and played a role in the deal never being completed.

Since then, Doumbia has become one of the most sought-after players in Serie B. He has scored seven league goals this season, assisting five times, playing a big role in keeping Venezia top of the table.

Just one step away from promotion to Serie A, Celtic are still interested in Doumbia.

Other clubs are joining the race

Gazzetta dello Sport today described the 22-year-old as Venezia’s treasure. They only paid €1m to sign him from AlbinoLeffe in 2024 and he is now worth as much as €15m.

This view is shared by manager Giovanni Stroppa, who watched Doumbia score a crucial goal in their win over Empoli at the weekend.

The report suggests that Celtic and Southampton have now joined a number of other clubs in the hunt for talent. Club Brugge and Espanyol are also keen.

Major Serie A sides are now monitoring his development, and Portuguese giants Sporting are also keeping an eye on him.

Venezia have not yet decided on their future. Promotion to the top level brings with it plenty of challenges but sales can reduce the amount of money clubs have on offer.

Our opinion: Celtic’s task is getting tougher

With each passing week, the queue of suitors for the Italy U21s player continues to grow. This is no surprise but it has turned out to be a problem for Celtic.

The Hoops may have to pay a record fee for Issa Doumbia. The major Italian clubs, Sporting and even Club Brugge can attract the attention of European football and more people.

Doumbia’s team at StarAssist is more active in Italy and France.

‘Affordable’ transfer fee makes Celtic man a viable option – transfer consideration on the rise

celtic

Luis Palma’s €3.5m valuation is seen as ‘affordable’ for Sevilla this summer, raising possibility celtic Forward takes step towards Spain.

Orgullo Biri’s report The Spanish club are eyeing a move for the Celtic man this summer due to his low-cost valuation.

an affordable signature

A report last week said that Sevilla are attempting to persuade Luis Palma to join the club this summer.

They have been impressed by his performances while on loan at Lech Poznań. The 26-year-old has shone for the Polish side with nine goals and nine assists in 42 games in all competitions this season.

They are likely to exercise the €4m option to buy the winger, but According to reports in Spain, Sevilla are looking to intervene.

Sources close to the player had then denied anything had happened. But He stressed that Palma is eager to move into the top five leagues this summer. Celtic are likely to sell him after two consecutive loan deals away from the club.

Orgullo Bieri now reports that Palma’s current valuation of €3.5m is ‘a figure within Sevilla’s reach’. They see Palma as ‘affordable’. Either option loan or low cost transfer will work for them.

They say that while Lech Poznan want to sign Palma permanently, the player may prefer La Liga if a stronger offer comes in. Celtic are open to sale after Palma’s consecutive loan spells at Olympiacos and Lech.

sevilla status key

First and foremost, Sevilla need to make sure they are in La Liga. Now they face an important stage of the season in which it will be determined.

Their plans for next season depend on the result. Same is the case with Luis Palma. A deal for the Celtic forward will only go ahead if the Spanish side remain in the lead.

But if they do, he is seen as an affordable option they may want to pursue for next season.

Club officials ‘trying to convince’ Celtic player – want him to push for a transfer

Sevilla are attempting to convince Celtic’s Luis Palma to avoid a permanent move to Lech Poznan and join them this summer.

Estadio Deportivo report that the Spanish side Despite Celtic’s agreement with Lech Poznan, Palma are working to keep him as an option for the summer transfer window.

loan deal in permanent exit

Luis Palma has been impressing on loan at Lech Poznan this season, with eight goals and nine assists in 41 appearances in all competitions so far.

The belief is that the Polish side is ‘almost certain’ Exercising a €4m option to purchase the 26-year-old on a permanent basis from Celtic. They’ll either keep it, or sell it for a quick, easy profit.

But Sevilla are looking to intervene. Nervion officials are still attempting to convince the Honduran player to join them. They want him to put pressure on Celtic to accept Leitch’s offer.

He has also targeted the winger. And director of football Antonio Cordon is now attempting to stop a permanent move from happening. He is trying to convince Palma to go to Spain.

a complementary option

Sevilla see a lot of value in this deal. Luis Palma can act as a complementary option to Ruben Vargas. Or, if it is sold as a higher-capacity replacement. It’s a win-win.

The current asking price is also not beyond their capacity. Of course, that is assuming that Celtic will sell for the same price they have agreed with Lech Poznan. There can be debate on this.

Sevilla will not make any definitive moves until their La Liga position is secure. Planning a top flight is a very different idea from planning a second flight. But the club hierarchy have plans in place that would allow him to move on if needed.

One positive is that there is room for a Celtic winger. He will occupy a non-EU roster spot, but Sevilla have room to add him. Thus, the foundation stone has been laid.

Now they are trying to persuade him to ignore Lake Poznan, return to Celtic Park this summer and move back to La Liga. Of course, that’s assuming they’re in La Liga.

‘Slight chance’ of Celtic buying the player – O’Neill’s agent confirms side meeting

celtic

celtic Manager Martin O’Neill has Kieran Tierney and Marcelo Saraschi as his two left-backs at Celtic Park.

Without any option or obligation to buy, Saracchi moved to Celtic on loan from Boca Juniors in August 2025.

Last month, the 27-year-old’s agent, Marcelo Tejera, revealed that Celtic have expressed a desire to purchase their client. He also confirmed his meeting with him.

That time, He said: : “I have planned a meeting with the general manager of Celtic because they are also looking to buy out his contract.”

The representative has also confirmed interest in the Celtic man from unnamed clubs from England, Brazil and Mexico.

It is unclear whether he had any meetings with O’Neill’s side regarding the fullback’s future.

Celtic player’s future uncertain

bolavip Cover the latest on Marcelo Saraschi, who is struggling with hamstring problems at Celtic.

Since moving to Glasgow, he has already missed 79 days due to injuries, and this has limited his playing time for the Scottish club.

His league statistics are as follows:

  • Appearances: 15
  • Start: 8
  • Total minutes played: 610
  • Minutes per game: 41

The Uruguay international has played 872 minutes in 21 matches for Celtic so far in all competitions. The outlet has made it clear that this is their own information and report that he will not be at Celtic Park after this season.

That’s because there is ‘very little chance’ that Martin O’Neill’s side would be interested in opening talks with Boca Juniors to extend his stay. Following his loan spell with the Bhoys, the defender is set to return to the South American club.

Saracchi’s agent seems to be aware of Celtic’s plans and so, he is planning a trip to Europe. They are likely to meet their client and then explore options for the summer.

Their representatives on March 6, Marcelo Tejera confirmed Both Nacional de Fútbol and Club Atlético Peñarol showed interest in him in the winter market. However, the transfer did not go through as Celtic did not cooperate.

Our opinion: Celtic need a new left-back

With Celtic deciding not to extend Marcelo Saracchi’s stay, Kieran Tierney will be the other recognized left-back in the team. The former Arsenal player played 3,342 minutes in 46 matches this season. However,

However, Tierney has had injury problems over the years and therefore, Celtic will have to bring in a new left-back to provide him cover and competition.

Yasser Asprilla
Yasser Asprilla of Yasser Asprilla of Yasser FC during the UEFA Champions League match between Yasser FC and Liverpool FC at the Estadi de Montilivi on December 10, 2024 in Verona, Spain.

celtic There has been serious interest in bringing Yasser Asprilla to Celtic Park in the winter market. Martin O’Neill’s team was not successful as he left Verona for Galatasaray on a loan deal.

Back in January, Sport Witness broadcast news Celtic and West Ham United wanted to sign the 22-year-old.

Instead, he left for Türkiye in a ‘lucrative’ deal.

The La Liga side signed the winger from Watford for around €18 million and the move did not go well.

To put this into context, he scored four goals and provided two assists in 50 appearances, and had one goal and one assist this season.

Highlights of failed Celtic move

Wednesday edition of game There is a report on Yasser Asprilla and points to Celtic’s interest from January.

Martin O’Neill’s side, West Ham United, Marseille and unnamed clubs from Portugal and Germany have shown strong interest in the 22-year-old.

However, the Colombia international turned down these clubs to join Galatasaray, who had made an attractive offer. In short, money prompted him to choose the Turkish champions over Celtic and others.

Verona approved a loan offer with a €23m purchase clause that would become mandatory if certain set conditions were achieved.

There was excitement in Türkiye due to his arrival but now it is not the same. Since moving to Istanbul, he played 335 minutes in nine matches, failing to score or assist.

Manager Okan Buruk has many other options in attack, making it more difficult for Asprilla to enjoy regular minutes.

On 8 April, the South American suffered a knee injury in Galatasaray’s 3–1 league win over Göztepe.

Galatasaray have confirmed the knee injury but it is unclear when he will return to action. The Turkish press has already indicated that they will not make his stay permanent.

Sport looked into it and reported that everything indicates that Asprilla will return to Verona after this season.

Second chance for Celtic and West Ham?

Yasser Asprilla’s decision to take the money didn’t work out at all. His contract at Verona is until 2030 and his value is according to transfer marketIs €14m.

It is unclear whether Celtic and the Premier League side are still interested in signing him. If they are, both clubs could have a new opportunity to try to sign the Colombian in the next window.

The Celtic player admits future is open – clearly relishing time away from the Bhoys

celtic Defender Mike Nawrocki is not ruling out a return to the club this summer after impressing on loan at Hannover 96.

BILD reports on 25-year-old man todayIncluding his comments about a possible return to Celtic this summer.

His stock has rarely been higher, with the striker becoming a cult hero at Hanover after his derby-winning strike against Braunschweig. This attracted a lot of attention on the streets.

“I’ve been approached about this on the street several times,” he admitted.

“It’s nice that it means a lot to the people here and that I was able to make them happy. But I don’t want to overdo it. The winning goal against Braunschweig doesn’t make me a better player.”

But while Bayern fans are celebrating, it remains to be seen whether he stays in the summer.

Return to Celtic?

The current loan deal between Celtic and Hannover includes an option to purchase for the summer. But it will only be activated if Hannover are promoted to the Bundesliga at the end of this season.

The situation was clarified in a report last monthWhich includes quotes from Bayern 96 managing director Jörg Schmadtke about the future of the Celtic man.

Hanover is currently five points behind fifth-placed Schalke. This means Nawrocki’s future is unclear. And he himself admits that there are many possibilities.

He said, “Staying here, going back to Celtic, or maybe going somewhere completely different: there are many options. It’s not just up to me.”

celtic overhaul is coming

Mike Nawrocki’s future at Celtic Park will likely depend on who the next permanent manager is. Martin O’Neill will step down at the end of the season following his two interim stints this season.

The change is one of several expected at the Scottish giants following disappointment, fan unrest and calls for an overhaul.

This is something Nawrocki is aware of. And he’s choosing to focus on what he can control right now.

“My focus is on the upcoming matches and I am looking forward to them,” he said.

“No one knows what will happen after that. So, there is no point worrying about it now.”

Poland’s dream may move ahead with plans

One thing that could fuel his plans for the summer is his hopes of playing for Poland. Despite appearances at U15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 21 level, he never played for his country.

Playing regularly at club level will undoubtedly help, and he is very much aware of that fact. With Celtic already left to play this season, this is a factor worth considering.

“I played for Poland as a youth, and of course, I dream of one day getting my first call-up to the senior national team. I think I’m on their radar. But my chances will only increase if I play regularly for my club,” he concluded.

The unseen benefits of the Celtic exit

For now, his focus is on the benefits of his existing loan. He has established himself as a regular guy, made himself a cult-hero and enjoyed the benefits.

He believes a move away from Celtic last summer was the right choice to make more than immediate returns.

“During my time in Warsaw and at Celtic, we (his family) saw each other very little,” he admits.

“Now it’s only an hour’s drive, and I go often. My family comes to home games, and often to away games too. I really enjoy it.

“It was important that I was playing regularly again after two years. I love it in Hanover. The city is absolutely beautiful. I felt comfortable in the team from the beginning.” Laughing, he adds: “And the weather is much better than in Scotland.”

‘Competition from Celtic’ – battle with Martin O’Neill’s side for vital transfer

celtic

celtic Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has been the No. 1 since arriving at Celtic Park on a free transfer in 2024. Martin O’Neill has not been able to rely on the 39-year-old for more than a month due to injury.

Celtic are ‘still waiting for player to agree’ after transfer offer accepted

Celtic are ‘still waiting’ for Frosinone forward Fares Ghedjemis to agree a move to Celtic Park after they agreed a deal with the Italian side for him.

Gazzetta dello sport report Celtic are in a dilemma over the 23-year-old forward, having turned down the chance to join them earlier this year.

Breakout season is based on sacrifice

The Italian newspaper reports that Gedzemis didn’t just turn down Celtic, he also doubled down on Frosinone, Serie B and themselves. At this point, it looks like a very smart move.

With 12 goals and three assists in an impressive campaign this season, he has become one of Italy’s breakout stories.

He has also made his debut for Algeria, replacing Riyad Mahrez and scoring, instantly raising his international profile and market value.

Frosinone See what’s coming. They activated the option to extend his deal until 2028, which came into play when Celtic came in with a €6 million offer in January.

Why did they say no to Celtic?

The Italian club allowed him to choose his future. Go now or stay and fight for promotion. Fares Ghedjemis stopped and has been undefeated ever since.

Interest in him is growing and Celtic are ‘still waiting’ on him. As his numbers continue to rise, German clubs are following his progress.

It remains to be seen whether €6m is still enough to convince Frosinone. The forward is currently valued at €5.50m, so this would still represent fair value. This is also a huge profit on the €300,000 Frosinone paid in 2024.

However, for now, Gedzemis remains involved with the Italian club. He is scoring, assisting and leading the team to Serie A. They currently sit third in Serie B, three points behind leaders Venezia.

It shows that snubbing Celtic in January was the right move on his part. Scottish giants still in danger Efforts are being made to potentially revive the deal in the summer.

“It was the boy’s intention” – Agent gives Celtic hope of summer deal

celtic goal fares ghedzemis
celtic goal fares ghedzemis

Phares Gedzemis is having an impressive season so far at Frosinone. Celtic moved for the attacker in January and have been given the hope of a summer deal.

In the winter transfer window, sports witness Celtic’s approach to the winger was widely covered. The Scottish giants made a formal offer but Frosinone immediately rejected it, as they had little time to find a replacement.

Throughout the campaign, Gedzemis has played 32 times in all competitions and has been instrumental in their push for promotion. He has made 12 goals, scoring against South Tyrol in Serie B at the weekend and also scored against Cesena earlier this month.

It’s all likely to attract more attention than ever before and the 23-year-old’s agent has opened up about his future.

Celtic offer rejected in January

Phares Ghedjemis’ agent Fabrizio Ferrari spoke at a Palermo football meeting on Tuesday evening. He discussed many of his clients, one of whom was the Frosinone star. He revealed that a possible approach from Celtic was rejected in January.

When asked about a possible renewal, Ferrari said – relayed by tuttomerkatoweb: : “Renewal? This option was already present in the contract signed with Frosinone that it was their right to exercise.”

Speaking about how things were two months ago, the agent revealed that Gedzemis himself had turned down a move, but with a view to a move in the summer.

“There were rumors in the market about him in January? He really wanted to end the season with promotion. That was the guy’s intention, with Frosinone potentially monetizing the operation in the summer.”

Ferrari’s comments indicate that the player’s future is likely to be in question in the summer.

The deal may not prove easy for Celtic

The way things are going for the Algerian, he is likely to attract plenty of interest in the summer. Serie A clubs may also start to pay attention to Fares Ghedjemis’s performances, even if Frosinone remains in Serie B.

That’s why Celtic need to be cautious with this move otherwise they could potentially have to overpay.

Frosinone paid €300k to sign the winger in 2024 and would like to make as much as possible from a sale. No matter what department they find themselves in, they wouldn’t mind going to auction for their key assets.

Celtic player flirting with transfer again – trying to keep enthusiasm a secret

benjamin nygren

Celtic’s Benjamin Nygren once again finds himself at the center of transfer discussionsEven if the player tries to keep that noise at arm’s length during turbulent weather at Celtic Park.

The 24-year-old has been one of the few consistently positive figures for Celtic this campaign. Despite instability and mixed results on the touchline, Nygren’s form has been excellent.

He has scored 19 goals and provided seven assists in 48 appearances in all competitions, and is currently second in the Scottish Premiership scoring charts with 15 goals.

That level of performances has already put him on the radar of English clubs. Previous reports, including claims involving Manchester United, have linked him with a move to the Premier League. earlier this monthHe also spoke openly about his “dream” of playing in the biggest leagues.

Season references and Celtic chaos

Benjamin Nygren has made no secret of the gap between his individual form and the club’s struggles. Talking to Swedish outlet sportbladetHe admitted that the campaign had been “mixed”, pointing directly to a damaging defeat against Dundee United which left Celtic Hearts behind at the top of the table.

“It’s been a bit mixed. Unfortunately we lost a very important match,” He said.

While results have fluctuated, Nygren’s individual performances have remained strong. He pointed this out himself, saying that he approaches international duty with “a lot of confidence” after a productive run in front of goal.

Celtic’s season has also been affected by instability off the pitch. Brendan Rodgers’ departure at the start of the campaign set off a chain reaction. Martin O’Neill stepped in, then gave way to Wilfred Nancy, whose brief spell ended after eight matches. O’Neill was forced to turn back again.

Nygren described the situation clearly: “A lot has happened. We’ve had a lot of managerial changes and there are a lot of demands at a big club like Celtic. We haven’t really lived up to those demands.”

That context matters when assessing his output. Putting up consistent numbers in that environment has only increased his profile.

Premier League links and careful reaction

Benjamin Nygren didn’t shy away from drawing attention to the transfer. However, he also made it clear that he will not let this distract him.

“It sure is fun. It proves you did something good,” He said.

At the same time, he also stressed the desire to remain connected to the land. He is focused on improving every day and helping Celtic finish the season strongly.

“It’s not something I focus on right now. The season is going on. The focus is on the club, and now on the national team. Then it’s about trying to finish the season as well as possible, win the league and the cup.”

There is a clear balance in the Celtic star’s words. Nygren accepts the interest and allows himself a certain degree of enthusiasm. Still, he is careful not to indulge in too much speculation.

What’s next for Celtic?

The Benjamin Nygren situation puts Celtic in a familiar dilemma. The club have a player in peak form under contract until 2030, and his market value is now around €10m (£8.6m). This figure has increased rapidly in recent months.

If his current scoring rate continues, further interest from the England side seems inevitable. His versatility in attacking midfield and forward roles only strengthens that appeal.

Plus, there is no immediate pressure on Celtic to sell. His lengthy contract gives him control, and the club will want stability after a chaotic season.

For now, Nigren is proceeding cautiously. He is enjoying the recognition he has received from his performance. Yet he is also making sure that doesn’t become the story of his season.

If Premier League interest becomes concrete this balance may not be maintained for long.

“An experience, you could say” – Celtic star on Rangers chaos and fan invasion

Celtic star Benjamin Nygren has admitted he didn’t know what to think when fans stormed the field following the win over rivals Rangers.

Soccer Scanlen has an interview Today with the 23-year-old. They discussed a variety of topics, including the incident that happened against Rangers at Ibrox earlier this month.

Hundreds of Celtic fans invaded the pitch following a 4-2 penalty shootout win over Danny Rohl’s side earlier this month.

Dramatic Celtic win leads to chaos

The attack began with Tomas Cavankara’s winning penalty, with Celtic fans storming the pitch from the Broomlawn Road stand. Rangers fans soon followed, leading to clashes on the pitch.

A member of the Celtic backroom coaching staff was also reportedly attacked during the chaos.

Several police officers, managers and fans were injured, with Police Scotland deploying mounted police and riot vans to restore order. Oliver Nygren witnessed the scene firsthand and admitted that it was quite an experience.

“It was a little chaotic but an experience, you could say. I’m glad we came away with the win,” He said.

“There’s always a lot of emotion in that match. There’s a lot of history between those clubs. You may have divided opinions about what happened after that.”

“No time to think”

The clash between Celtic and Rangers was the first time since 2018 that Celtic supporters were given their full allocation of 7,500 tickets at Ibrox.

Police later reported that some fans had entered the stadium without tickets, delaying the security operation earlier in the day. The Scottish Police Federation later claimed that commanders failed to respond quickly to the overcrowding.

He was not the only one who did not have time to think, Benjamin Nygren admitted that things changed very quickly.

“I didn’t have time to think,” He explained the result for Rangers.

“We won, celebrated on the field and suddenly a lot of fans came in and then from both sides. Then it was just a matter of going to the dressing room.”

For Benjamin Nygren, it was another reminder that Old Firm matches rarely end at the final whistle.

Celtic may have emerged victorious, but the chaotic scenes that followed ensured the result would be remembered for far longer than football.

“I understand the anger” – Celtic star on protests and club not meeting demands

benjamin nygren

Celtic star Benjamin Nygren has admitted he understands the anger from the club’s fans this season as Martin O’Neill’s side have failed to live up to the standards expected.

It has been a year of turmoil for Celtic, with Brendan Rodgers’ resignation at the end of October adding to months of instability, frustration and fan unrest.

Fan unrest reached its peak over the weekend. Fans booed CEO Michael Nicholson, CFO Chris Mackay and interim chairman Brian Wilson after the 2-0 defeat to Dundee United. He required police protection while leaving the stadium.

“Not Another Penny” campaign highlights fans’ frustrations

This was followed by several other displays of anger from Celtic fans this season.

There is also a campaign by the Celtic Fans Collective, which has united fans under the banner “Not Another Penny”.

They are actively encouraging a boycott of all merchandise, food and hospitality operated by the club. They are aimed at executive resignations, transfer strategy reforms and other major changes at the club.

Nygren sympathizes with fans’ anger

Benjamin Nygren is well aware of the growing anger among Celtic fans. And he admits that he can sympathize with his supporters.

“The fans I’ve met have been so nice and positive. People I’ve met on the streets of Glasgow.” He called it a football scandal.

“But I also understand the anger of the fans when it is such a big club. They are used to winning so many titles every year. I understand the anger when you don’t meet the current demands.”

Rodgers’ exit and boardroom fallout

Rodgers’ departure was due to public disagreements with majority shareholder Dermot Desmond. He accused Rodgers of creating a toxic environment and being divisive despite winning back-to-back league titles in 2024 and 2025.

Former manager Martin O’Neill was brought in to restore calm. He managed to stabilize the team with seven wins in eight matches in the interim spell.

However, his replacement, Wilfred Nancy, rocked the boat again. His tenure lasted only 33 days after six defeats in eight matches, including a 3–1 defeat to St Mirren in the League Cup final.

O’Neill returned in January as Celtic found themselves in third place, five points behind leaders Hearts and two points behind Rangers. A 2–0 defeat to Dundee United at the weekend seriously hampered their chances of retaining the title.

Nygren adjusting to Celtic demands

This has been an eye-opening experience for Benjamin Nigren. He only joined Celtic from Nordsjælland in the summer. On a personal level, it has been successful. But that doesn’t end the turmoil surrounding the club.

“A lot has happened. We’ve made some coaching changes and there are a lot of demands at a big club like Celtic.” He added.

“We haven’t lived up to those demands. We went into the Champions League playoffs, and we’re not leading the league. It’s been a bit mixed. It’s a lot to experience.”

a club at the crossroads

Celtic now find themselves at a crossroads. The current crisis is no longer just about results on the field, but a clash between expectation and reality for the Scottish giants.

Benjamin Nygren’s honesty reflects a dressing room that is fully aware of the standards required as well as the pressure that comes with it.

With fan opposition escalating, confidence at boardroom level waning and the title slipping away, Celtic face a decisive period that will ultimately decide their future.

“I have a dream” – Celtic player talks transfer after ‘best season ever’

benjamin nygren

Celtic’s Benjamin Nygren says he is having the best season of his career with Martin O’Neill’s team and has left the door open to leaving Celtic Park.

‘Clear and certain’ – arrival from Celtic is already on the way

nicholas kuhn
Nicholas Kuhn, pictured in March 2026, is not having a good time since leaving Celtic

Celtic earned a fee of €19m from Nicolas Kuhn’s transfer to Como last summer. The deal has clearly not worked out and the player may soon join a new club.

sports witness His transfer to Italy was covered and there was much excitement surrounding the move from Celtic Park.

So far this season, the versatile attacker has played less than 800 minutes in all competitions for the Italian side. He has failed to fit into Cesc Fabregas’ system, with the Spaniard preferring Mergim Vojvoda instead.

It is very different to the situation at Celtic. Kuhn played 1876 minutes in the Premiership last season, scoring 13 times and also assisting on nine goals.

Even in the 2023/24 campaign, he made an impact for Celtic by contributing four goals in nine games.

tutomercatoweb Now look at the German situation, which is once again uncertain.

kuhn will leave komo

cesc fabregas
Cesc Fagregas

The outlet believes Fabregas is now ‘clear and definite’ about his decision to part ways with the wide player, less than a year after arriving from Celtic. Como expected more from the player when they paid €19m to sign him.

The attacker’s quality has also been questioned, with the Lakeside club unsure whether he can match their standards.

Como are currently in the Champions League spot and want players who can compete regularly in the competition. There is a perception that despite everything he showed at Celtic, Kuhn is not at that level.

In fact, the 26-year-old is proving to be a rare case of a player that Como could not really develop. They have gained a reputation for the contrary, with players like Martin Baturina now also having success in attack. Jacobo Ramon has become one of the best defenders in Serie A.

That is why Kuhn’s position is proving to be a challenge.

Kuhn’s fall from grace after Celtic is surprising

During his time at Celtic Park, the winger was one of the Hoops’ most consistent players. He paid Rapid Vienna just €3.5m in January 2024 and his stature has risen very quickly – evidenced by how much he was sold for.

Although the current phase is disappointing, it is not the end of the world for the German. He is currently 26 years old and still has many years left in him.

It will be important to make a smart decision regarding his next club, where he will look for more playing time and continuity. Maybe Celtic might have a look.

Denmark boss discusses Kasper Schmeichel injury again as questions remain for Celtic

Denmark head coach Brian Reimer has refused to reveal private talks with Kasper Schmeichel. It comes after the Celtic goalkeeper withdrew from the national team last week.

Schmeichel recently withdrew from the Denmark squad for the next international break citing a shoulder injury.

The decision caused confusion in Denmark with Martin O’Neill revealing that the veteran player was feeling much better on Friday. Reimer later acknowledged that the national system had concerns.

“Our conversations are private” – Reimer brushes off questions

The topic was put to the Danish coach again today, Continuing with his comments in bold. But he was unwilling to reveal what happened between him and the Celtic goalkeeper.

“Kasper is a goalkeeper who has played 120 international matches for Denmark and has been a big part of the national team’s history,” he said.

“He is probably the person I know who has the biggest and most bleeding heart for Denmark, so it is natural to ask this question.

“As I would with all other players, our discussions are obviously a private matter between me and him. That’s the same situation here.”

What this means for Denmark and Celtic

Reimer insisted it was Celtic’s responsibility to update him on the injury. As a result, he wants all questions directed at the Scottish club.

“What I’m dealing with is that Kasper is injured. So, anything to do with his injury and Celtic, I’ll direct the questions that way because that’s not our job,” he said.

He confirmed that Denmark would proceed with the players currently available. He is likely to turn to West Ham’s Mads Hermansen as Filip Jorgensen is injured.

He concluded, “We are working with players we can select and players who will perform for us in the upcoming training camp.”

Denmark now prepare to face North Macedonia on March 26 without their most experienced goalkeeper. It is a huge blow, in a game that is crucial to their hopes of making the World Cup this summer.

Celtic to battle with Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund are planning to make significant changes to their squad next season. His manager, Niko Kovac, and sporting director, Sebastian Kehl, have devised a plan.

7 Best Football Regions in the World: A Must-Read for Every Indian Football Fan


7 Best Football Regions in the World: A Must-Read for Every Indian Football Fan

Football is no longer just a “Western sport” for Indians. From the late-night screenings of the English Premier League to the massive craze for the FIFA World Cup in Kerala, Bengal, and Goa, the beautiful game has captured the Indian heart. But have you ever wondered where the world’s best football actually comes from?

For an Indian fan looking to understand the global landscape, here are the 7 best football regions in the world that define the sport today.

1. Western Europe (The Big Five)

When we talk about football, we usually mean Western Europe. Home to the English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, and German Bundesliga, this region is the financial and competitive heart of the sport. For Indian fans, this is where stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi built their legacies. The tactical discipline and high broadcast quality make this the most-watched region in India.

2. South America (CONMEBOL)

If Europe is the heart, South America is the soul. Countries like Brazil and Argentina produce raw, rhythmic talent that resonates deeply with Indian supporters. The “Joga Bonito” style of Brazil is particularly famous in the football belts of Kolkata. This region is known for producing “street footballers” who rely on flair, dribbling, and individual brilliance.

3. South Asia (The Rising Giant)

While historically not a powerhouse, South Asia—led by India—is the fastest-growing football market. The Indian Super League (ISL) has brought professional standards to the subcontinent. With a massive population and increasing investment in grassroots academies, the Blue Tigers are slowly clawing their way up the FIFA rankings, making this an exciting region to watch for homegrown fans.

4. West Africa

This claim comes from a Paraguayan outlet versus. They claim the Glasgow side have been tracking the 24-year-old for several months as part of their scouting work in South America.

Celtic star on transfer agenda – Bhoys want big money

Celtic midfielder Arne Engels is a potential target for RB Leipzig this summer as they set their sights on a new midfielder.

This is according to Sky Germany. The German outlet covers the Bundesliga side and their plans to improve the central midfielder.

According to their information, Rocco Ritz currently tops their list of options. They want to invoke the 23-year-old’s release clause and bring him in as a replacement for Kevin Kampl. He is retiring, while Xaver Schlager is also departing.

His exit would leave a hole to be filled and Leipzig are considering options. The Bundesliga side are already working on the midfielder, meeting with his representatives. Talks on that front are progressing well.

celtic star in list

However, he is not the only man that Leipzig are considering. Celtic’s Arne Engels is also on their list and is the subject of discussion at the club. There’s also Caspar Zander and Kenneth Eichhorn.

This is not the first time that Engels has been on Leipzig’s radar. Sport Witness covered a report on their interest in January.

That report stated that Leipzig had set their sights on the 22-year-old. However, it was made clear that the Celtic man was second choice behind Rocco Reitz. It appears that this situation continues.

angel’s option

Plan, According to that report in JanuaryReitz had to aim. And if that deal can’t be secured, then turn their attention to the Celtic midfielder. Questions remain about Celtic’s asking price.

None of the reports mentioned what the Bhoys would demand from Belgium. They paid €13m for him in 2024, so they will definitely want a big return on him. And his contract expires in 2028, so there is no pressure to sell.

For now, it seems everything depends on Reitz. If Leipzig can’t get him, Engels is an alternative option.

‘Imperial defender’ – player seriously impressing after arriving from Celtic

Gustaf Lagerbijk is rapidly rebuilding his reputation after leaving Celtic, being praised for the consistency and authority of his performances in Portugal.

This season he has emerged as one of the most used players in the team. He operates as a central man in a three-man defense and has quickly become a pillar of the team’s structure. His calm delivery – both short and long – and his defensive solidity have made him one of the manager’s most reliable options.

The 25-year-old has also provided decisive moments since leaving Celtic. Earlier in the campaign he played a key role in the win over Sporting. In stoppage time, he was fouled inside the penalty area, allowing Rodrigo Zalazar to convert the winning spot-kick.

Beyond defensive work, Lagerbilke remains a threat from set pieces. His aerial ability and physical presence make him a regular target during corners and wide free-kicks.

Swedish perspective on their development

Former Braga striker Stefan Schwarz Eskilsson, who follows the Portuguese league closely, recently watched Lagerbijk in action and came away impressed.

“I watched some of their games because I also watch Braga matches,” he said. “I was also at the stadium for the derby against Vitória Guimaraes.”

From what he’s seen, the Swedish defender has made clear steps forward since leaving Celtic.

“I saw a solid and steady performance. He’s a great defender who doesn’t make mistakes. He’s very secure in his game.” Eskilson said.

The former striker also highlighted the physical and tactical qualities that define Lagerbilke’s style.

“He adds the physical component – ​​he’s very tall, physical and aggressive. But he reads the game very well. He’s an intelligent player.”

what happens next

Lagerbijk’s consistent performances have also helped him earn a place in the Sweden national team, where competition for centre-back places remains strong.

Eskilstuna believes the defender’s trajectory since leaving Celtic shows the value of playing regularly at a high level. And Lagerbilke himself enjoying life in portugal.

“He has improved compared to last season and is now playing in a better league than the Netherlands and Scotland.” He said.

With 39 appearances already this season, the Swedish defender looks set to keep the momentum going – and his post-Celtic chapter is starting to look like the most stable period of his career so far.

Giannis Antetokounmpo to finally return from calf injury against Celtic

Milwaukee Bucks superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has not played in more than five weeks, is set to return from his calf injury on Monday night against the Boston Celtics, as first reported by ESPN. He will face a minutes restriction in his first game in more than a month.

As of 1:30 pm ET on Monday, the Bucks have listed Giannis as questionable for Monday night’s game.

Antetokounmpo has not played since Jan. 23, when the Bucks lost 102-100 to the Denver Nuggets. Earlier in the game, Giannis suffered a worrisome right calf strain that sidelined him during the All-Star break and an eventful trade deadline where the two-time MVP was brought up in trade conversations around the league.

Although several teams, including the Golden State Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves and Miami Heat, held direct talks with the Bucks about a trade for Giannis before the February 5 trade deadline, Milwaukee was never serious in its intent to trade the multi-time All-Star, league sources told ClutchPoints.

The teams that were showing heavy interest in Antetokounmpo never once felt that Giannis being traded in the middle of the season was a real possibility, and the Bucks informed him of this hours before the trade deadline.

Without Giannis, the Bucks have actually had quite a bit of success, winning eight of their last 15 games and moving within three games of the Charlotte Hornets for the 10-seed in the Eastern Conference standings. Cam Thomas, Ryan Rollins and Kevin Porter Jr. have been great playing off each other in the Bucks’ backcourt.

The Bucks are still attempting to make the playoffs this season, and Giannis has made it clear to the organization that he has no intentions of sitting out the remainder of the year. This is why the organization is not following in the footsteps of those finishing at the bottom of the league standings and conceding the season.

With Antetokounmpo returning to the lineup on Monday night against Boston, the Bucks will look to keep their momentum in a positive direction. After their game against the Celtics, who are playing their second game in as many nights, Milwaukee will enter a number of games against some teams with losing records and other teams battling major injury concerns.

There’s potentially a way to find success and move up in the standings, which is why the Bucks and Antetokounmpo are still fighting entering March.

In 30 games this season, Giannis is averaging 28.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, while shooting 64.5 percent from the floor. Missing more than 17 games this season resulted in him being ineligible for season-ending awards and honors, meaning Antetokounmpo’s streak of seven consecutive All-NBA first-team selections and nine straight All-NBA selections overall has ended.

“I listen to my heart” – unusual approach to whether or not to rule out a Celtic player

Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has had mixed performances at Celtic Park in recent weeks. However, Martin O’Neill has continued to start him in both the league and the Europa League.

The Denmark international joined Celtic on a free transfer in July 2024 and impressed in his debut season. He kept 24 clean sheets in all competitions for the Bhoys and conceded 47 goals in 49 matches.

His statistics this season are not as impressive as before. To give context, the stopper has kept 14 clean sheets and conceded 49 goals in 39 matches so far. The 39-year-old has maintained only three clean sheets in 11 matches this calendar year.

campo Now claims Schmeichel is ‘going through a tough time’ with O’Neill’s side, which has clearly not gone unnoticed in his country.

The Celtic player has been the number 1 for the national team in past years. Since June 2024, he only missed the friendly win over Northern Ireland last summer as manager Brian Reimer started Filip Jorgensen ahead of him. That was the Chelsea player’s only appearance for Denmark.

Reimer’s warning to Celtic player

Earlier this month, Sport Witness Danish claims covered This shows that Reimer does not dare to remove the former Leicester City star.

ViaPlay spoke to the stopper regarding his situation and Campo shared his comments. The national team manager has now issued a warning to the Celtic man.

“I look at putting together the best team, and I always do that. How I do that is by looking at the players and their performances. And looking at the composition of the group that is going to play,” He said.

“Nobody is guaranteed a permanent place in the Danish national team. This applies to Schmeichel, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Rasmus Højlund.”

NT manager’s message to Celtic man’s critics

On 9 February, Game Witness cover danish take It is ‘absolute madness’ that West Ham United’s Mads Hermansson or Jorgensen were not given opportunities. On Monday, we relayed more claims That Schmeichel is no longer ‘good enough’ for the national team.

Despite repeated criticism, Reimer has now sent a message to Schmeichel’s critics.

“I follow my heart, and that doesn’t mean I do what everyone wants me to do, but I listen to my heart and go out to the team that feels right to me. No one is guaranteed a spot, no matter what position they play or who they are,” Reimer explained.

Denmark will face North Macedonia in the World Cup playoffs in March. If Schmeichel fails to impress at Celtic in the coming weeks the debate about his position could intensify.

“Not as good anymore” – Celtic player headed towards winter of career

kasper schmeichel
kasper schmeichel

Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel “Not so good anymore” And it’s time for Denmark to think about change.

That’s according to BT’s ‘football expert’ Jannik LiburdSpeaking on the podcast BT Fodbold about the Celtic number one.

Schmeichel has found himself under fire after a number of high-profile mistakes in recent weeks.

The 39-year-old faced particular criticism after last week’s 4-1 Europa League play-off defeat to Stuttgart.

He was responsible for at least two goals in that game. The first came from a poor clearance after Bilal El Khanous’s difficult effort to save a relatively low strike. Later he also failed to deal with Jamie Levelling’s 20-yard shot.

There are more such examples. The 3–2 win over Kilmarnock was marked by his role in two opposition goals, which was a mistake against Aberdeen in last year’s 2025 Scottish Cup Final.

Due to this, questions are being raised about his role and how long this experienced player can remain at the top level. The Celtic fans in particular seem to have had enough and he was criticized by some sections of the team at Celtic Park after last week’s defeat to Stuttgart.

Celtic issues encourage Danish chatter


The Celtic situation also raises questions over his international future. Denmark are set to play in a World Cup qualifier next month after finishing runners-up to Scotland.

After waiting two years to make his debut following his first call-up in 2011, Schmeichel has been their number one for 13 years.

There have been many significant moments, including setting a new record for most minutes without conceding a goal. With this he went ahead of his father. However, Liburd believes the time has come for change.

“I can already see the title for myself, but yes – I think so,” He said.

“This is a very vulnerable position to change. And Kasper Schmeichel has been a legend and driving force in this national team for many years – and is at a level that can be described as world class.

“But it is time for a change – and it may be for a while. Mads Hermansen has stepped up and become the first-choice goalkeeper at West Ham. And unfortunately, what we see from Kasper Schmeichel is not that good anymore.

“I have a lot of respect for them, but when I look at the goals that Celtic are conceding this season, I’m not comfortable as a national team supporter.”

MRI scan before Stuttgart vs Celtic clarifies player’s condition – Europa hill just got steeper

angelo stiller
Cologne, Germany – September 28, 2025: Angelo Stiller – Football match of the Bundesliga 1.FC Köln vs. VfB Stuttgart at the Rhine Energy Stadium.

Celtic’s Europa League hopes of returning could be dealt a blow, with VfB Stuttgart set to welcome back star Angelo Stiller.

This is according to BILD. The German newspaper today gives a positive update on the 24-year-old’s injury, at least from a German perspective.

Celtic head to Stuttgart on Thursday looking to reverse their 4-1 defeat last week. The German side dominated at Celtic Park in the first leg, with a clinical performance amid protests from the Celtic fans.

Why Celtic won’t find it easy

Sports witnesses have already covered their mindset before the second leg. head coach Sebastian Hoenes promises That they would be “prepared accordingly” despite their innate advantage.

One possible complication was Stiller’s injury. There were fears that he might have suffered a serious injury during the match played in Heidenheim on Sunday evening. But, an MRI scan on Monday evening confirmed that there was no problem.

In fact, it’s even possible that Stiller could return to the team for the second leg against Celtic on Thursday. However, the midfielder was not on the field for Tuesday’s training session.

Instead he completed an individual session. At this point, the assumption is that Hoehn would likely prefer to rest Stiller against Celtic. They have captain Atakan Karazor to replace Stiller in the interim.

facing celtic history

But still, having the 24-year-old available would be a big boost. And Celtic’s hopes of pulling off a Europa League miracle were dealt a blow.

Although Martin O’Neill’s side may not play as poorly as they did in the first leg, the trip to Germany will certainly not be easy. If they can come back, it would mean history in the making.

Neither team has successfully overturned a three-goal deficit from a 4–1 defeat in the first leg. Teams have come back from 3–0 or by different scores, but never 4–1.

In 2019 Eintracht Frankfurt had a team come close to recovering from a 4–1 defeat in the competition.

‘Don’t dare’ – insists manager will not release struggling Celtic player

kasper schmeichel
kasper schmeichel

Kasper Schmeichel has been Celtic’s No.1 since arriving at Celtic Park on a free transfer in July 2024. His role has not been affected by recent managerial changes and he is first choice for Martin O’Neill.

The Denmark international has kept 14 clean sheets and conceded 47 goals in 38 appearances in all competitions for Celtic this season.

He conceded 19 goals in nine Europa League appearances and four of the goals were in Celtic’s defeat to VfB Stuttgart. The 39-year-old was criticized by a section of the Scottish club’s supporters following Thursday’s European defeat at Celtic Park.

Celtic form a cause for concern for Denmark

BT Watched his recent performances for Celtic in Denmark and shared his thoughts on making his debut for the national team in March.

Denmark will face North Macedonia in the World Cup playoffs in March. The question is whether manager Brian Reimer will start Schmeichel as his role has already been debated.

The Celtic man has been Denmark’s main goalkeeper for many years. Chelsea’s Philip Jorgensen and West Ham United’s Mads Hermansen have been supporters of his in recent years.

Jorgensen has played once while Hermansen is yet to make his debut. Earlier this month, Sport Witness Danish claims covered It is ‘complete madness’ that both are not getting opportunities.

Reimer likely to be starting Celtic player

Beattie says Reimer’s decision to choose his goalkeeper for next month’s clash will probably be ‘tougher than usual’. This is not just due to Schmeichel’s mixed Celtic performances, but also Hermansen’s return to West Ham. The latter regained his place in the Hammers’ starting lineup.

However, the national team boss ‘doesn’t dare’ to sack the Celtic player. At least that’s what BT football expert Jannik Liburd claims.

“The question is, does Brian Reimer dare to change his relatively weak position before important playoff matches in March?” He said.

“Personally, I don’t think Brian Reimer dares to prioritize form over experience and play Mads Hermansen instead of Schmeichel, even though that might be the right thing to do.”

Schmeichel’s contract expires in June. Back in November, he said he would decide on his celtic future Around February or March. There should be more clarity in the coming weeks.
