- Exclusive with Graeme Bailey
SPFL leaders Celtic are looking ahead to the summer already and could land one of the Championship’s hottest talents.
The Bhoys are on course to win the league again under Brendan Rodgers despite it looking like the title going to Ibrox only a few weeks ago.
Celtic, of course, have one of the strongest squads in the SPFL and anyone who comes to Parkhead must be able to handle the pressure and expectation of playing for the club.

Quite who Brendan Rodgers instructs his board to try and sign, remains to be seen.
However, according to TBR Football sources, Celtic could be one of the clubs involved in the mix to sign Championship and Coventry City star, Callum O’Hare.
Celtic in for Callum O’Hare but Burnley lead the way
TBR Football understands Coventry City face a battle to hang onto to some of their stars from their recent FA Cup run.
One player almost certainly leaving is midfielder Callum O’Hare and TBR Football understands that Burnley are in pole position to seal his signature ahead of the likes of Leicester and Southampton, and Scottish giants Celtic and Rangers.
Burnley made a bid in January, but that was rejected but now they are confident of landing for nothing this summer with his contract expiring at the end of the season.
An incredible player destined for bigger things
Had O’Hare been fit for last season, Coventry might well have got over the line when they had the brilliant Viktor Gyokeres and also Gus Hamer playing well.
O’Hare’s return from injury this year has been massive for Coventry and there’s no wonder such big clubs like Celtic are keen on him.
Lauded by Mark Robins, O’Hare has certainly made an impression on his manager since coming back from injury.
“I think he has been incredible because I mean looking back at Boxing Day last year and to see him was heart-breaking after the injury and then to see him come to terms with the injury and then go through that,” Robins said.
“The journey that he’s been on this this year has been really tough and lonely and we’ve given him space. We’ve given him time he’s worked really hard in between those times but he’s deserved a little bit of time off.
“He’s been away on holiday a couple of times where he’s just recharged and got ready again to go for his next phase of training. The way he is around the place is really infectious and effervescent and he really deserves that.”
Celtic, then, could be on course to get one of the Championship’s very best players.
