Celtic released their 2024/25 squad photo on Friday, but fans were quick to notice a significant omission.
Midfielder Odin Thiago Holm, who has made three league appearances this season, was absent from the photo.

Holm, who joined the Hoops last summer, has already faced setbacks this season, including being dropped from Celtic’s Champions League squad.
In addition to Holm, first-team coach Gavin Strachan was also missing, raising further questions. No explanation has been given yet regarding either absence.
On a brighter note, the squad photo included several promising young players, with Francis Turley, Colby Donovan, and Josh Clarke earning a place. Adam Montgomery, who was loaned to Motherwell last January but returned early due to injury, was also included, sparking interest as he looks to regain his form and stake a claim in Brendan Rodgers’ side.
Holm’s absence, however, remains the biggest talking point, as fans speculate on what this could mean for his future involvement with the squad.
James McCarthy was quietly released by the club this summer, which is why he’s not pictured with his teammates.
Celtic take on Aberdeen this weekend, before heading to Italy to face Europa League winners Atalanta in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
