Celtic are anticipating the return of Luis Palma this weekend after a spell on the sidelines due to injury. The team has faced numerous injury setbacks this season, and the absence of the Honduran player has been felt for the past few weeks. Manager Brendan Rodgers expressed concern earlier about a potential long-term absence for Palma, who has not played since February. However, there is now optimism surrounding his comeback, with reports suggesting he could make an early return for the crucial upcoming match against Rangers, a game that could shape the season.

According to The Scottish Sun, Palma is close to being ready for selection, pending successful late-week training sessions, and is likely to feature in the high-stakes clash at Ibrox. Meanwhile, Celtic’s pursuit of Eduard Spertsyan from Krasnodar in Russia seems to have hit a roadblock, with only a Belgian club expressing interest in the Armenian midfielder at this stage.

In other transfer news, Brondby has indicated that Mathias Kvistgaarden, a long-standing target for Celtic, may be on the move this summer, prompting attention from the recruitment team at Parkhead. Sporting director Carsten V. Jensen acknowledged the possibility of Kvistgaarden’s departure, hinting at potential financial gain which could bolster their squad. Jensen emphasized the importance of strategic player sales to achieve their European ambitions, aiming to secure a spot in the continental group stages.
