Most Celtic supporters expected the club to take a calmer approach at the beginning of the summer window. But over the last few days, fresh discussions online have suddenly convinced many fans that Celtic could already be preparing a major move behind the scenes.
Reports linking the club with a possible return for a former player have quickly started spreading across supporter pages, with many fans believing the move now makes more sense than ever.
The player has reportedly impressed during his spell away from Celtic, and supporters are already debating whether the club should bring him back before other teams enter the race.
Some fans believe his development since leaving the club could make him a completely different player if he returned now, especially with Celtic expected to strengthen several areas ahead of next season.
Others feel the club should focus on completely new signings instead of revisiting former players.
Still, the excitement surrounding the rumours has continued growing online.
Several supporters admitted they originally expected a fairly quiet start to the transfer window before official business properly began. Instead, the latest links have suddenly sparked major discussions among fans about what Celtic’s summer rebuild could eventually look like.
Many supporters also believe Martin O’Neill wants players who already understand the pressure and expectations that come with representing Celtic.
That is exactly why rumours involving former players always attract strong reactions from supporters.
The growing speculation has also increased excitement around the possibility of Celtic making quicker moves in the transfer market than many fans originally expected.
Whether the deal eventually happens or not, one thing is already becoming very clear — Celtic supporters are paying close attention to every new clue surrounding the club’s summer plans.
