CALDWELL ON THE WAY OUT, AS O'DEA RETURN LOOMS
The saga surrounding Gary Caldwell’s contract negotiations took another turn today, with French League side Nice stepping up their interest in the Scottish International.
Caldwell is holding out for a weekly wage that brings him in line with the rest of the first-teamers at Celtic Park, but the Bhoys are not keen to match his demands. As such, the likelihood of a departure for the player in the January transfer window increases with every passing week.

International break works wonders for the Celtic Cause.
After the league defeat to Rangers, the perception of many was that the International break had come at the wrong time for Celtic; a full two week period, without the opportunity to right the wrongs of a disappointing afternoon was not an enticing prospect.
Nevertheless, this cloud of a fortnight without any domestic action has provided Tony Mowbray with an undoubted silver lining, with the news that a raft of players unavailable or not fully fit for the Old Firm encounter are nearing the end of their recuperation process, and are ready to once again push for a first team berth.

Lawwell ups the ante for Old Firm departure.
Speaking ahead of next month’s EPL meeting - where debate will revolve around Phil Gartside’s “two tier” proposal with two leagues of 18 teams in England, including Rangers and Celtic – Peter Lawwell intonated his belief in the inevitability of change.

Zheng Zhi the new Petrov?
Scotland International striker Chris Iwelomu today stated his belief that new Bhoy Zheng Zhi will become a firm fan favourite at Celtic Park.
Iwelomu – who played with Zhi for 18 months when at Charlton – is a strong admirer of the Chinese International’s abilities, stating “I would definitely say he has the quality to make a real name for himself at Celtic. The great thing about him is that he is always wanting to get the ball forward. He is not shy at getting into the box, and the season we were together his goals were in double figures. He scored twelve or thirteen goals that season, and he was playing in the...
Celts can Zhi Defensive Antidote.
Ex-China coach Bobby Houghton believes that the answer to Celtic’s defensive woes may well be staring them right in the face – in the form of International Captain Zheng Zhi.
Zhi’s first appearance for Celtic – in the powderkeg atmosphere of Sunday’s Old Firm encounter – earned him high acclaim. Playing just behind lone striker Scott McDonald, his passion, drive and vision were clear for all to see.
Nonetheless, the impending return of Marc-Antoine Fortune may see Celtic gaffer Tony Mowbray keen to take advantage of his new Bhoy’s renowned versatility; Houghton intonating his belief that Zhi could be the remedy to an ailing central defence that has been shipping weak goals of late....
