Hatate exit looms, Glasner favourite for Celtic job

Hatate heading for the exit

Celtic are ready to accept offers for Reo Hatate this summer after the midfielder slipped down the pecking order. The club sees this window as their best opportunity to cash in on the Japan international, who has found game time harder to come by of late (1). After a double-winning season, the squad reshuffle is already taking shape.

Tahirovic bid being lined up

Celtic are preparing a strong offer for Brøndby IF midfielder Benjamin Tahirovic. The Bosnia and Herzegovina international has emerged as a key target, and the club are hoping for an early World Cup exit for his national side so negotiations can move forward quickly (2) (3). The 23-year-old previously had a stint at Ajax.

Glasner odds slashed for Celtic job

Oliver Glasner's odds to become the next Celtic manager have tumbled, with bookmakers suggesting an appointment could be imminent (4). The Crystal Palace boss is now the strong favourite, piling pressure on the board over Martin O'Neill's long-term future despite the domestic double.
