Both Brandon Soppy and Sacha Boey have reportedly been in negotiations with Celtic for the best part of the last week, however, news of a potential transfer to Scotland has quietened down.
Rennes take on Standard De Liege tonight in a friendly match later today and both players have been named in the squad.

This rules out any imminent move to the hoops meaning Celtic are likely to face Midtjylland-who lost their opening league fixture- with Anthony Ralston playing right-back – something that Celtic fans fear!
Rennes face Getafe on Wednesday before playing Levante on Saturday, the team fielded for these games will give a clearer indication of how negotiations with the pair are progressing.
Celtic lost two right-backs last season and JonJoe Kenny returned to his parent club after failing to impress on his six-month loan so finding a new right-back who can show the quality fans desire is high on Celtic’s priorities.
