Open to a possible loan deal- Celtic’s summer signing tipped for January exit

The Celtic star could leave Celtic Park on loan in January.

The winger was signed from Melbourne City at the end of June but has already been injured and has only made the bench, let alone his debut for the Hoops.

Luis Palma and Yang Hyun-Jun were signed in the same transfer window and have made progress, with the Honduran in particular impressing.

With Liel Abada and Daizen Maeda expected to return from injury in December, the next two weeks will be crucial to Tilio’s continued career at Celtic.

In the Daily Record, transfer specialist Scott Burns reports:

Marco Tilio, Celtic’s forgotten man, will consider a loan move in January if he can’t play first-team football by January.

The 22-year-old made his first appearance of the season coming off the bench in Australia’s 2-1 win over Qatar U23s at the weekend. Tilio, who has seven caps for the Socceroos, is hoping he can return to Celtic after his stint with the Olympicroos to secure a place in Brendan Rodgers’ first team.

Should that not be the case, he would be open to a possible move on loan. However, Tilio, who joined Celtic from Melbourne City last summer, did not feature at the weekend due to an early injury and has yet to recover.

From Saturday’s home game against Motherwell, Celtic have 11 games until the winter break, which begins after the game against St Mirren on January 2.

Under Ange Postecoglou, Celtic fielded two wingers between the 60th and 70th minutes, but Brendan Rodgers did not have that opportunity due to injury.

Following his call-up to the Australian Olympic squad, the next few weeks will be crucial to Tilio’s hopes of making the grade at Celtic.
