Transfer Speculations and Contract Talks: Bushiri's Silence as Celtic Prepares for Champions League Clash

Hibs defender Rocky Bushiri remains uncertain about his future amid contract talks while Celtic gears up for a pivotal Champions League match against Bayern Munich.

Hibs Defender's Uncertain Future

Rocky Bushiri, the hero of Hibs' Scottish Cup campaign, has revealed that there have been no discussions regarding a new contract as his current deal nears its end. The defender, whose future at Easter Road hangs in the balance, has been a key player for the club, but his silence on contract extensions has sparked speculations about a potential move.

Celtic's Champions League Ambitions

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is confident that his team can make an impact against German giants Bayern Munich. The two teams are set to clash in a Champions League showdown at Celtic Park next week. Rodgers believes that the home advantage and the team's recent form could be decisive factors in this high-stakes encounter.

Bayern's Perspective

Bayern Munich's Raphael Guerreiro, however, views the matchup as a 50-50 tie, despite the Bundesliga leaders being the favorites. The left-back emphasized that Celtic's home atmosphere and determination could level the playing field.

Harry Kane's Anticipation

England captain Harry Kane, who recently scored his 29th consecutive penalty for Bayern, expressed his excitement about playing at Celtic Park. The forward described it as a unique experience he is looking forward to.

Ryan Christie's Success at Bournemouth

Meanwhile, Scotland international Ryan Christie has flourished in his new role as a central midfielder for Bournemouth. Christie admitted that he never expected the switch to be so successful but credits his improved understanding of the game for his current form.

Calls for Financial Support in Women's Football

In other news, Celtic women's manager Elena Sadiku has called for more financial backing for her team. She highlighted the disparity in resources compared to rivals Glasgow City and Rangers, urging for greater investment to compete at the highest level.
