The Celtic incomings have, or the speculation about incomings, are now reaching fever pitch since the Hoops qualified for the Europa League Group stages on Thursday night.
With a guaranteed £10m just for getting there due to hit the Hoops bank account shortly, there is assuredly going to be a serious top up in that cash flow now that Celtic know their opponents are going to be Bayer Leverkusen, Real Betis and Ferencvaros.
The rumours about who Celtic will buy are now circulating as the Hoops fans hope reinforcements are on the way to bolster the squad for the upcoming European campaign but they won’t be happy to hear respected journalist, Alan Nixon’s latest update in a late tweet last night.
The departure of some Celtic’s players was always on the cards, but I can bet most Celtic fans would have hoped that with Europa League qualification done and dusted, Hoops duo Odsonne Edouard and Ryan Christie, could have been persuaded to stay.
With Christie’s future still relatively undecided, Nixon took to twitter to update the Celtic fans on Edouard as he revealed there are now THREE clubs looking to court the big Frenchman away from Paradise:
Odsonne Edouard fever. Crystal Palace have now made an official offer. In 15m region. Close to Rubin Kazan and with Bordeaux also involved. Celtic have their auction …

With Nixon claiming an official £15m offer has been submitted by Patrick Viera’s Crystal Palace, it seems Edouard may yet see his move to England but only if he revises his wage demands.
With Edouard’s homeland club of Bordeaux also interested, could the lure of going home be larger than his desire of a pay packet of could the riches of Kazan be enough to meet the Frenchman’s wage expectations?
The next few days are going to be very interesting indeed.
