Maik Nawrocki Celtic transfer exit route 'opens' up
The Polish defender has mainly been used as a back-up during his time at Parkhead and, while reliable when called upon, has barely played.
He made just five appearances last season, three in the Premiership.
The former Poland U21 international has appeared 18 times in his two seasons at the club so far.
Now, Pogon Szczecin, are reportedly showing an interest in taking him back to Poland.
Polish outlet wSzczecinie.pl are claiming the Ekstraklasa side are keen on taking the centre-back on loan.

The 24-year-old, who joined Celtic from Legia Warsaw in 2023, is contracted until 2028.
Cameron Carter-Vickers, Auston Trusty and Liam Scales have been Brendan Rodgers' preferred centre-backs this year.
Nawrocki was signed during the same summer as Gustaf Lagerbielke but both found it hard to break into the side and the Swede spent last season on loan with FC Twente.

Sunderland make £8.5m demand as Jobe Bellingham Dortmund talks reach deadlock
Borussia Dortmund want to sign Sunderland midfield starlet Jobe Bellingham before the Club World Cup and the two clubs remain in negotiations for the player, who has agreed a five-year deal with BVB Borussia Dortmund have been told they must up their bid by £8.5million to strike a deal with Sunderland for Jobe Bellingham. The 19-year-old midfield starlet has already agreed to join the German giants on a five-year contract but they are yet to shake hands on a transfer with the Black Cats. It's understood Bellingham's release clause is currently set at £33.7m (€40m) but Dortmund are not currently willing to reach that figure and have instead communicated they would be willing to propose a £25.2m (€30m) package. The offer would be worth £21m upfront with a further £4.2m in achievable add-ons but Sunderland want the buy-out clause met in full before they sanction the move. German sources have indicated BVB's first official bid was worth around £21m all in and was swiftly rejected. Dortmund were of the belief that Bellingham could leave Sunderland for £25.2m (€30m) due to an alleged gentleman's agreement between the player and his current club but they now face a race against the clock to get a move over the line before the Club World Cup. Championship play-off winner Bellingham was named in Lee Carsley's England U21 squad for the European Championships on Friday. However, if Dortmund thrash out a deal before Tuesday's transfer deadline, they would hold all the cards and could take Bellingham to the Club World Cup should they wish as per FIFA rules, clubs are not obliged to release players for the U21 Euros. Liam Delap will be travelling to the United States with Chelsea after he sealed a £30m move from Ipswich Town earlier this week. Carsley claimed on Friday that Bellingham would currently be travelling to Slovakia with the Three Lions, explaining: 'The FIFA window closes on the 10th of June, so we just have to make sure that we're flexible, similar to what we've done with all of the players. We're here to support them, make sure we help them as much as we can. Jobe is an important part of our squad and will be travelling with us.' The England U21 boss will be allowed to make changes to his squad right up until his side's tournament opener against Czechia in Dunajska Streda next Thursday. Dortmund have been pushing hard to reach an agreement with Bellingham since the end of the season despite rival interest from fellow German side Eintracht Frankfurt. In early May, BVB officials Lars Ricken and Sebastian Kehl plus head coach Niko Kovac flew to the North East for discussions with the player. Departing CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke also flew to England to meet the Bellingham family before later jetting to Ibiza, where Bellingham was on holiday, for a final round of talks that look to have swung the balance.

Demir Tiknaz sees Celtic transfer 'contact' made with Rio Ave as Besiktas clock ticks on quick flip plan
The Turkish international is on loan from the Istanbul giants and reports in Portugal claim the Hoops are interested Reports in Portugal claim Celtic have "made contact" with Rio Ave over a deal for Demir Tiknaz. A Bola reports that French Ligue 1 outfit Lille are also interested in the Turkish midfielder and that the Premiership champions have joined his list of admirers. However, Rio Ave can only discuss a potential transfer once they've made his loan switch from Besiktas permanent. The option to do that for €5million expires next Tuesday, so the clock is ticking for the Liga Portugal side to try and turn an immediate profit. And it's claimed that they will only consider offers around the €10million (around £8.4m) mark. Tiknaz made 28 appearances for Rio Ave last season, scoring four times and providing two assists. He is currently on international duty with Turkey, who play friendlies against America and Mexico, the latter being played in the early hours of Wednesday morning - after Rio Ave's option expires. Celtic could of course approach Besiktas directly should that pass without the Portuguese club exercising their option, but their apparent willingness to cash in quick could make a deal easier if the signs there first.

Lam motivated to take Bristol on to a future title
Bristol director of rugby Pat Lam has insisted he has lost none of the motivation to try to take the Bears to a Premiership final next season, despite watching his side fall short in their semi-final at Bath. The Bears held a slender half-time lead over Bath but conceded four successive tries to fall out of contention as their West Country neighbours booked a place in the Twickenham final next who joined Bristol in 2017 with the club then in the Championship, has taken the Bears to the play-offs three times but not yet to a final."To get to the final was massive for us - we are disappointed but we gave it a really good go and we missed out to a quality team," Lam said. "If you look over the seven years at what we've done and what Bath have done, Bath will always get a lot of credit because they've won titles, Northampton won titles, Saracens have won titles. "I think for us to go to that next level and earn some of that respect we need to win a title, that's the next evolution of this team."I'm really excited by next year and what could happen." Bristol finished fourth in the table, securing their semi-final spot - and their first since 2021 when they topped the league - in the final round of the regular season with a win against Harlequins six days did so with the smallest squad in the Premiership and after missing key players such as fly-half AJ MacGinty and winger Gabriel Ibitoye for large chunks of the Bath they scored a breathtaking try which started metres from their own tryline through Kalaveti Ravouvou and was capped off by James Dun, and showcased plenty more of the quick, slick ball-handling skills that made them one of the top attacking outfits this season, and briefly stopped Bath in their across 80 minutes they could not match their opponents - particularly with the loss of scrum-half Harry Randall on 37 minutes to a shoulder injury and following two yellow cards. Lam, who is under contract until 2028, said they need to develop more of the strength in depth that Bath have to push also pointed to the signings of versatile Scotland and Glasgow back Tom Jordan, winger Max Pepper and second row Pedro Rubiolo as additions that will bolster them in 2025-26."We've just got to keep building that depth below so when we lose key guys they can fill that gap even better," he said."We've still got the smallest squad, we've got 31 players next year, 19 senior academy boys."What we've shown is you don't have to spend to the cap - we've tidied up so much of the whole organisation, I believe we're sitting nicely now off the field and we'll build and when we do get some more funds we've got enough in our cap space to grow from there."
