Andy Halliday says striker would ‘go to Celtic’ after being told top-flight star ‘will leave’
Celtic are in a strong position heading into the January transfer window.
Compared to last season, when there were chants of ‘sack the board’ during Celtic’s defeat to Hearts in November, the club enters this window in a far healthier manner.
Brendan Rodgers has stated that Celtic want to do business and talk about who could come in has already started.
Quite a lot of noise has centred around the midfield places, with some arguing that could be the strongest part of Rodgers’ squad.
From Motherwell star Lennon Miller to Burnley’s soon-to-be out-of-contract star, Josh Brownhill, many names have popped up.
But another name was discussed, in regards to the forward areas, especially after Rodgers stated he wants three strikers back in August.
As of this moment, Kyogo Furuhashi is Celtic’s main man, with Adam Idah, who scored during the thumping win against Ross County on Saturday, as the back-up option.
But how about a man who is expected to leave his current club and arrive, not in the winter, but perhaps in the summer of 2025?!
Andy Halliday says Lawrence Shankland would ‘go to Celtic’
The Scotland international isn’t hitting the high notes of last season, but that still hasn’t stopped noise around his future.
As Si Ferry touched upon on Open Goal, Lawrence Shankland ‘expects to leave Hearts’, with his contract expiring next summer.
Andy Halliday stated that Shankland would ‘go to Celtic’, but former Bhoys youth product Paul Slane shut it down by stating that he simply ‘wouldn’t suit’ Rodgers’ style.
“In the last few games, where I have watched Shanks, every part of his game, apart from goalscoring, has been great,” shared Ross McCormack.
“Shankland said he expects to leave Hearts and there is ‘no progression made on a new deal, he is free to talk to other clubs in January,” shared Si Ferry. “Would Celtic take him?”
