Celtic news bulletin as Luis Palma opens up on injury woes while rival Ugurcan Cakir asking price

Palma, a Honduran international, made his way back into the game during Saturday’s victory over St Mirren after missing the previous four due to a muscle injury.

In order to prepare his body for Celtic’s title defence in the latter stages of the season, Luis Palma claims he is putting in more training sessions.

With 11 goals and 13 assists this season, the 24-year-old has had a successful campaign. However, he missed the first four games due to a muscle injury. On Saturday, he made his debut off the bench in the 3-0 victory over St Mirren. However, the Honduran international winger has now expressed his joy at being fit again and his resolve to give Brendan Rodgers’ team every opportunity to win the league for a record three times in a row. “I’m happy to have minutes again, I feel good, and I’m focused on recovering my level,” Palma said in an interview with Radio House. To be at my peak at the conclusion of the competition, I intend to visit the training facility on Monday.”

In other news, Celtic may increase their interest in Trabzonspor goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir in their pursuit of a replacement for Joe Hart. According to reports in Turkey, the Super Lig team plans to look to trade for the stopper in the summer.

According to Aksam, the 28-year-old, who assisted his childhood team in winning the league title in 2022, will be free to leave for a sizable transfer fee. It is reported that Trabzonspor is seeking £7.5 million for their captain.

According to InternetHaber, the team may try to bring Altay Bayindir, Manchester United’s backup goalkeeper, in to replace Cakir. The Turkey international has only made one appearance at Old Trafford since joining the Premier League’s biggest clubs for £4.5 million last summer from Fenerbahce. According to the report, Trabzonspor could pay as little as £2.6 million to return the goalkeeper to his native country.

Speaking ahead of this weekend’s Scottish Cup semi-final between Aberdeen and Rangers, pundit Neil McCann believes Brendan Rodgers has the upper hand in their “psychological warfare” matchup. After his team defeated the Buddies 3-0 to take a four-point lead atop the Premiership, the Irish manager was ecstatic about his team’s prospects of winning the domestic double.

Former Rangers and Hearts player McCann said on Go Radio: “I watched the games over the weekend, and I felt that Brendan Rodgers’ statement during the post-match press conference that “we are Celtic, this is when we come alive” had a psychological undertone. It’s clear from reading between the lines that he is exerting mild pressure that they will perceive.

Even if they don’t read papers or watch highlights, they will usually be aware of comments. It was merely an instance of the psychological warfare that occurs during this particular season.
