    It annoyed me quite a bit.

    If we do sign him he'll have to win me over.

    Think it was inevitable we started getting linked to Bodo players, which rag has it come from?

    No problem at all with how he was against us. That’s football. He looked a quality player though and that would be good enough for me. I’d sign there left back Wembangomo in a heartbeat as well.

    Aye, everything you hate to play against and everything you'd love in one in a Celtic jersey.

    Celtic would have to fork out just £1.6million to sign Ola Solbakken, according to a report.

    The Bodo/Glimt winger has emerged as a back-up option should Jota decide against a permanent transfer to Parkhead next season.


    On-loan from Benfica, Celtic have an option to buy the Portuguese star for £6million this summer.


    But a report from the Daily Mail on Wednesday stated Solbakken was being considered as a contingency plan.

    And now Gazzetta dello Sport have claimed he would be available for a bargain price.

    However, the Italian outlet say Roma are also interested in signing Solbakken, having witnessed first hand his potential in the Europa Conference League earlier this season.



    He scored twice in Bodo's famous 6-1 thumping of Jose Mourinho 's side.




    Solbakken also scored against Celtic as the Norwegian champions eliminated Ange Postecoglou 's team in the knockout stage.

    It now appears the Parkhead boss would face stiff competition should he decide to firm up interest in the 23-year-old.

    But it's likely the club will prioritise keeping Jota, who has become a firm fans' favourite this term.

    Doesn’t make sense to have him as an alternative to Jota when the values are polar opposite and they play in different positions. On the right wing we only have Abada, Forrest is done and Dembele probably won’t cut it. For less than £2m its a no brainer.

    Sign Ola, sign Jota. That gives options of Abada, Ola, Jota and Maeda.

    Release Johnston and Forrest.

    That's good business.

    We still need another winger if Jota signs, either or seems like papers just pulling * out of thin air especially if that's all he'd cost. There's a real concern about how much Forrest can contribute now, dembele is too early to tell and could be off anyway, and Johnston can't be relied on with his injuries.

    Abada, Maeda, Jota and Solbakken (or someone similar) gives us four wingers to rotate, all offering something a bit different in style of play and physicality, would be ideal.

    See based on the Athletic article, which I sometimes feel the pieces they do on Celtic is almost more their opinion rather than actually anything they have heard, however they spoke about a left back, ball playing centre back and right winger being a priority. You would have to assume this is in addition to Jota, who for most of the season until the last month has been a left winger for us.

    At right wing I don’t think we will get a better player for £1.6m (again a rumour but I don’t think he would be much more than that given his contract situation), than Solbakken. Like Jota, Solbakken can play either wing and be effective as he is naturally left footed he would play wider if out left and look to come in more from the right.

    There's no discussion to be had for £1.6m.

    Him and Jota for a combined fee of around £8m is a * steal.

    Seems a no brainer at that price mate.

    We need a RW to compete with Abada and he looks like he could operate as a striker too so could kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

    Jota/Maeda
    Abada/Solbakken
    Kyogo/Giak/Maeda/Solbakken
