On the subject of incomings, the Bhoys are in talks over a move for Kieran Tierney and plan to have a pre-contract for the Scotland international wrapped up in the near future.
Enacting a move that would strengthen the homegrown quota, his arrival could pave the way for Greg Taylor to depart Celtic amid interest from Dinamo Zagreb. Like his predecessor at the club, the 27-year-old is set to be a free agent this summer.
While Tierney could arrive on loan this month if circumstances align, there could be other implications involving the Bhoys’ squad registration rules that have started to come to attention.
Brendan Rodgers has made it clear that business is a priority this month, and wheels have started to turn that could lead to swift confirmation.
Celtic recall Dane Murray from loan spell at Queens Park
Yesterday, Queens Park announced that Celtic have activated their clause to recall Dane Murray from his loan spell on Glasgow’s southside on social media platform X.
The Scotland Under-21 international made 20 appearances across all competitions for the Spiders, registering one assist against Dunfermline Athletic.
They stated: “Celtic have exercised a clause in the loan agreement for Dane Murray and recalled the player. Thanks for your contribution this season and all the best for the future, Dane.”
Speaking after his departure, Queens Park Director of Football Darren O’Donnell said via their official website: “It was great to have Dane with us for the first half of the season and it ensured we had cover due to the unfortunate long term injury of Charlie Fox. Celtic have now recalled Dane and we wish him all the very best for the future.”
The implications for Stephen Welsh’s path to Celtic exit
67 Hail Hail revealed Murray’s exit would hasten Stephen Welsh’s impending loan move to KV Mechelen in the coming days for the remainder of the campaign.
The 24-year-old’s departure won’t include an option to buy, leaving the Bhoys in a strong position when deciding on his future once he returns from Belgium in the summer.
Despite interest from clubs in Scotland and England, Murray could become Celtic’s latest understudy within the backline to the likes of Cameron Carter-Vickers, Liam Scales and Auston Trusty.
Slowly but surely, supporters are starting to get an idea of how the squad is shaping up for the second half of the campaign.
