Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has indicated that talks are under way with representatives of two former loan players, raising the possibility of a double reunion at Celtic Park this summer.

O'Neill confirmed that the club's chief executive Michael Nicholson "has spoken to" the agent of striker Kelechi Iheanacho, adding that "it's the same with" left-back Marcelo Saracchi — both of whom spent last season in Glasgow. The remarks, reported by the Daily Record, suggest Celtic are actively exploring the prospect of bringing both players back.

O'Neill was less forthcoming when asked about reported interest in Reims midfielder Mory Gbane, 25, declining to be drawn on speculation surrounding the player, per the Glasgow Times.
