Last summer’s signing had stirred some interest from his former club, Legia Warsaw, which expressed a desire to bring him back on a loan. However, Nowrocki opted to remain at Celtic to secure his position within the squad.

Despite this progress, Nowrocki is likely still regaining match fitness and sharpness, which suggests he might not be featured in the starting lineup for Celtic’s upcoming match against Kilmarnock on Sunday.

It’s anticipated that Liam Scales will start alongside Carter-Vickers in the central defence. Whether this partnership remains after the transfer window remains to be seen, but you’d imagine Brendan Rodgers is looking to improve upon Liam Scales.
