Former Celtic striker set to land key recruitment role at Premier League giants
Celtic are currently in a period of relaxation during the international break, but updates regarding the reigning Scottish Premiership champions continue to circulate. Brendan Rodgers has reason to be optimistic after a convincing 3-1 win against St Johnstone last weekend, with Kyogo Furuhashi, Nicolas Kuhn, and James Forrest all finding the net.
Now, many of Celtic’s players have dispersed worldwide to represent their respective countries, dominating the headlines concerning the club for the next week. Daizen Maeda recently played a full 90 minutes for Japan in their World Cup Asian qualifying match, securing a 1-0 victory over North Korea.
Greg Taylor and Anthony Ralston may feature for Scotland as they face the Netherlands at the Johan Cruyff Stadium in Amsterdam tomorrow.
In other news, there’s been an update on a former Celtic player who appears close to securing a surprising role at a prominent Premier League club. Mark Burchill, a former Celtic striker known for his impressive goal-scoring record at Parkhead, has transitioned into coaching and scouting since retiring from football. Currently serving as the chief scout at Bournemouth, he has previously held roles at Livingston and Slovan Bratislava.
