The Hoops will look to continue their attack on Scottish Premiership and the Champions League in the second part of the season. Therefore, Brendan Rodgers he may want to make a few changes to his squad this month to improve his chances of success.

The Scottish champions appear to be closing in on signing the defender Kieran Tierney. Fabrizio Romano has reported that negotiations have now begun regarding Celtic’s re-signing of Tierney. The left-back is out of contract at the end of this season, but talks are underway to reach a deal this month, with Tierney keen to return to Celtic Park.

As well as wanting to sign Tierney this month, it has also been announced Celtic are closing in on signing Altay Bayindir from Manchester United. The Turkish international is currently the second-choice goalkeeper at Old Trafford behind Andre Onana, and with his desire to play more minutes, a move could be on the cards this month as United look to refresh their goalkeeping department and Celtic seek to replace the aging Kasper Schmeichel.

Since Rodgers and co. following the arrivals, they may also have to be prepared for a departure or two, as Sky Sports’ Anthony Joseph said, Genoa and Olympiacos have expressed interest in Celtic winger Luis Palma.

The 24-year-old joined the Hoops in August 2023 due to signing up 3.5 million poundsand it was an impressive first season at the club for the Honduran international, as he scored six goals and registered nine assists in 24 Scottish Premiership games.

Palma, who can operate anywhere in the front line, has struggled to make the same impact this season in 2024/25, having barely featured under Rodgers. Palma has started just two of the eight games he has played in all competitions and has only started one league game, which was against Dundee in October.

Joseph is now reporting that Genoa and Olympiacos have signed Palma from Celtic this month. Palma is under contract until the summer of 2028 and the Hoops are not interested in letting the striker leave, especially with James Forrest still sidelined with injury. The Scottish champions are on the lookout for a new winger, and if one arrives it could change their stance on Palma.
