There is a chance that Evan Ferguson could be returning to Celtic Park next month.
Roma will send Ferguson back to Brighton & Hove Albion in January after failing to impress in Italy.
The forward started up top against the Hoops in the Europa League, which could be classed as an audition ahead of potentially joining in January.
67 Hail Hail reported in November that the Bhoys were monitoring Ferguson, as they look to bring in some more firepower in front of goal.
As the Bhoys are in the Europa League, the Republic of Ireland international would be a huge help going forward. But, would he be allowed to play?

Would Evan Ferguson be eligible to play in the Europa League for Celtic?
Technically speaking, the forward would be allowed to play for Celtic on the European stage, but it does come with some rules.
If Ferguson was to join in January, he wouldn’t be able to play in the final league phase games against Bologna and Utrecht.
However, if the Bhoys qualified for the next phase, they would be allowed to register a maximum of three new signings.
Ferguson could be one of those who could be included if he ends up at Parkhead this time next month.
Evan Ferguson starts for Roma
Although he may be off at the end of the month, the striker was still named in the starting XI for the Europa League tie.
Before the game, Ferguson had only scored one goal for the Giallorossi and largely had to settle for appearances off the bench.
How many signings do Celtic need in January?
With a World Cup place up for grabs if Ireland can make it, Ferguson needs to be playing regularly in order to ensure his seat on the plane for good.
