As Celtic get set to welcome Kasper Schmeichel to Glasgow, we look at 11 players who could depart the Hoops this summer - and six who are likely to stay.

With the Scottish Premiership transfer window ramping up, a number of Celtic stars are being linked with moves away from Glasgow ahead of the 24/25 season.

Brendan Rodgers is set to add free agent goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel to his squad this week after the Danish international reportedly completed his Hoops medical, though there is still work to do after loan star Adam Idah returned to Norwich City and South Korean forward Hyeon-gyu Oh departed for Genk last week.

The Hoops are set to embark on a three game tour of the USA, which starts with a clash against DC United in Washington this weekend, Celtic fans will hope that new faces can be added over the coming days as they look to strengthen their grip on the Scottish Premiership.

Here, we take a look at 11 players who could depart Celtic Park this summer - and those who are likely to stay.

The Swedish centre-back became surplus to requirements last season after his £3 million move from Elfsborg. Almost departed in January, but a move to Leece collapsed. He is down the pecking order under Brendan Rodgers and will be offloaded this summer if an acceptable bid is made.

The big American centre-back had another good season for Hoops, and has had interest in the past due to his good form. However, should any interest develop this summer, Celtic are in a good position with the player contracted until 2029.

The hard-working Japanese forward is another player who was tied down to a long-term contract recently. An important member of Brendan Rodgers' team, Maeda will almost certainly be part of the Celtic squad at the start of the season.

Fans would be forgiven for planning for life without the Danish midfielder with a host of clubs interested in the player. Atlanta are believed to have already had a bid turned down for O'Riley as Celtic stand firm on their valuation. One to watch.
