Scottish Gossip: O'Neill downplays trialists, SPFL eyes derby fan return

Celtic manager Martin O'Neill has downplayed reports that Perth RedStar goalkeeper Sonny Inzalaco has been training with the club, stating he was unaware of the 19-year-old's presence at Lennoxtown. Reports suggest Wrexham are interested in the goalkeeper, who previously had a trial at Blackburn Rovers.

O'Neill also denied knowledge of 32-year-old free agent Tiemoue Bakayoko training with the team, insisting that the club will not be making any signings until January. Meanwhile, the agent for winger Fares Ghedjemis revealed that both Celtic and Rangers made moves for the player during the summer before he extended his contract with Frosinone.

The Celtic manager now faces a critical three-game stretch against Motherwell, Heart of Midlothian, and Hibernian, with pressure mounting on his future at the club. On the injury front, defender Kieran Tierney has confirmed he is feeling fit and ready for action.

In broader Scottish football news, SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster confirmed that the league is working to reintroduce away fans to matches between Celtic and Rangers as soon as possible.
