CELTIC’s pursuit of Carl Starfelt has stalled for now with the player still training for Rubin Kazan ahead of their tie against Sochi tomorrow.
The Swede was rumoured to be undergoing a medical in Moscow ahead of a move to Celtic in midweek, but it’s still not got any further forward at the moment.
Since Carl has been linked with a medical, Celtic have brought in Liel Abadal from Israel and Kyogo Furuhashi from Japan.
Celtic are in dire need of defensive reinforcements but Kristoffer Ajer’s deal out of Celtic has not been completed yet. Perhaps the club are waiting to complete Ajer’s deal before confirming Starfelt.
Latest update in the Carl Starfelt to Celtic saga is that the Swede trained with Rubin Kazan in Moscow today as they prepare for their final preseason friendly against Sochi tomorrow. 🇸🇪

The game on Tuesday is going to be very interesting. Celtic are going into the Champions League qualifier with less than the bare minimum. Ajer hasn’t kicked a ball in pre-season yet but will we call on him for Tuesday before he heads to the Premier League?
Starfelt looks like a suitable replacement for the Norweigan and you can only hope Celtic’s momentum of signing new players makes his incoming inevitable in the next few days.
