'Celtic monitoring Palace forward Edouard'
Crystal Palace have put Odsonne Édouard on the market this summer and Celtic are monitoring the situation closely, with manager Brendan Rodgers considering a return for the 27-year-old striker.

Celtic striker Adam Idah makes bold goalscoring prediction
The 24-year-old Irishman, who joined the club from Norwich for £9 million last summer, found the net 20 times in all competitions last season. Despite not being a regular starter under Brendan Rodgers and often being used as a substitute, Idah is confident he can improve on this tally. He said: "Yeah, 100 per cent. "I said it last season. "The more minutes I play, the more goals I'm going to score, and it's a fact. "I scored 20 goals with the minutes I've played, which is really good. "So I'm sure the more minutes I play, I'll score more goals and I'm confident enough in myself that I can get to that. "It's only a benchmark, so hopefully I can do it next season."

Idah has welcomed these potential signings, acknowledging the void left by the departures of Kyogo and Nicolas Kuhn. He said: "Look, the manager's obviously right. "We've lost two big players that have contributed loads to the squad. "So hopefully we can bring in some others that can help us out." Idah also expressed his ambition to become a consistent performer, having made a name for himself by scoring in crucial games, including the Scottish Cup final winner against Rangers during his loan spell. He said: "I think I've been like that my whole career, to be honest. "I've scored in a lot of big games, but now I want to kick forward and score in every other game. "The big games are great to score in, but I want to be consistent now, and I think that's the big learning for me. "I want to be the striker that plays every game and scores every game, every second game. "It's not about just the one big game, you want to do it consistently and I think that's where the biggest players are the best." Idah is unfazed by the potential competition for his position, stating that it's part and parcel of being in a successful team. He added: "I don't think anyone's going to go into a club where there's no other players in their position, so it's something I'm obviously used to. "At the end of the day, we're a team and we want to win games, win competitions and trophies, and we need the best players we can to do that. "So I think regardless who we sign, I think the whole team will be happy for it, and they'll add a really positive quality to the team."

"I know them both quite well, and just the way the club is going. "I spoke to a few people here before I signed, so I knew it was a real exciting project here. I watched Friday's 2-0 win in the Derby against Cork, so I can't wait to get going now'. "I'm looking forward to working with John & Danny. I've obviously played against John's sides a few times when I was at Fleetwood & he was Accrington Stanley.
