Celtic are in the market for reinforcements and now appear to be closing in on the signing of a talented star who has been spotted at Lennoxtown.
Celtic find out their Scottish Premiership fixtures for the new season
Fans will already be marking dates in their diary now that the Scottish Premiership fixtures have been released and there are plenty of exciting occasions to look forward to at Parkhead.
Beginning with St Mirren at home, Celtic go on to face Aberdeen, Livingston, Rangers and Kilmarnock in their opening five matches, though their clash against David Martindale’s side may be moved to allow more time to prepare for UEFA Champions League qualifying.
Brendan Rodgers will be hell-bent on making sure his side deliver yet another title, but who could he add to his squad to make sure they are in the best position possible to succeed?
Kieran Tierney has already arrived at Celtic on a free transfer and will complete his emotional homecoming after joining on a five-year deal. Meanwhile, the Bhoys are also closing in on Benjamin Nygren for a fee of £1.7 million from FC Nordsjælland.
The quest for squad depth doesn’t stop there, though Rodgers will need to weigh up who to discard in order to make room for fresh impetus among his group.
He was once worth £55m: Celtic ready to launch move to sign Idah 2.0
Celtic are still searching for a centre-forward as Kyōgo Furuhashi’s replacement, so could the Hoops “gamble” and sign a “big talent” once worth £55m?

Albirex Niigita defender Hayato Inamura is edging closer to Celtic as talks continue over a move to Scottish shores for the highly-rated Japanese defender.
Now, another star could be on the verge of joining the champions after being spotted at their training ground, according to reports.
Celtic-linked Callum Osmand spotted at Lennoxtown
According to Herald Sport, Callum Osmand has been spotted at Lennoxtown ahead of his move to Celtic as the Fulham striker prepares to sign on at Parkhead.
Set to come in for a nominal fee, the Welshman is out of contract south of the border and appears to be a smart piece of business by the club to offer competition for Daizen Maeda and Adam Idah.

Dubbed “lightning quick” by Jack Kelly, his move is now close to completion and all that remains is an official announcement from the Scottish champions before this one is put to bed.
Johnny Kenny has filled the gaps in place of Maeda and Idah at times. Still, Osmand’s arrival would put the cat among the pigeons regarding the future of the Republic of Ireland Under-21 international.
Either way, Celtic are strengthening their ranks early and look to be a surefire bet to put up a compelling challenge domestically, albeit their performances in the Champions League will be heavily scrutinised as Rodgers eyes making a splash on the continent.
Osmand fits the brief of a low-risk signing with high potential, which will please supporters even if he is yet to play a senior minute of club football.
