Ex-Celtic star Ismaila Soro goes on trial with Premiership club as he sets up shock return to Scotland
FORMER Celtic star Ismaila Soro is reportedly training with Scottish Premiership new boys Falkirk. The ex-Hoops midfielder, signed by Neil Lennon in 2020, has been released by Israeli club Beitar Jerusalem this summer and is looking for a new club. 3 Soro in action for the Hoops Credit: Kenneth Ramsay 3 It didn't quite work out for Soro at Celtic Credit: Kenneth Ramsay 3 Falkirk boss John McGlynn has reportedly offered Soro a trial Credit: Kenny Ramsay Soro scored one goal in 43 appearances for Celtic during his three years at the club and failed to make an impact at Parkhead. He was then shipped out to Portuguese side Arouca on loan before a permanent switch to Beitar Jerusalem followed in the summer of 2023. The Bairns are looking to strengthen their midfield, with just one new addition in that area this summer in the form of Leicester City youngster Henry Cartwright on a season-long loan. They've also brought in former Hoops goalkeeper Scott Bain, Lewis Neilson on loan from Hearts and veteran striker Brian Graham from Partick Thistle. McGlynn has previously said he is looking to bring in two or three more players before the end of the window, but needs to wait to see what bigger clubs do down south before Falkirk can make their move. But the Daily Record is reporting that the Bairns' boss is offering the 27-year-old Soro a trial to see if he can win a deal at the Falkirk Stadium. Falkirk are in the top flight for the first time in 15 years after back to back title wins in League One and the Scottish Championship. They enjoyed an highly impressive unbeaten season in League One, before securing the Championship title on the last day of last season against Hamilton Accies. This season they topped their Premier Sports Cup group before beginning their league campaign with a 2-2 draw at home to Dundee United. They then fell to a 3-1 defeat away to fellow new boys Livingston last weekend. Falkirk fans invade the pitch as promotion to the Premiership is confirmed Falkirk next go to Celtic in the last 16 of the Premier Sports Cup on Friday, before welcoming Hibs to the Falkirk Stadium the following Saturday. After that it's a trip to Pittodrie to face Aberdeen before the international break. Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
