With the summer transfer well and truly opened, we have seen the Celtic bring in new faces to help get the new Brendan Rodgers era underway.

The additions of Odin Thaigo Holm and Marco Tilio have certainly been welcomed by the fans and the expectation will be that there will be more to follow as summer progresses.

But as with every incoming, players must leave to balance out the squad. And one of those that look like they could be leaving soon is Conor Hazard. That’s according to Sky Sports’ Anthony Joseph.

The journalist took to Twitter last night and said, “ UPDATE: Northern Ireland international goalkeeper Conor Hazard is due to undergo a medical at Plymouth Argyle tomorrow, ahead of his move from Celtic.

“It’s understood the fee will be in the region of £150,000.”

67 Hail Hail had already discussed over the weekend that Celtic and Plymouth had not only already agreed on a fee but also add-ons as the coastal club looks to make a big first impression in the English Championship after their promotion last season.

Hazard has been at Celtic pretty much all of his professional career. He has never really had the opportunity to assert himself as Celtic’s number one.

The Northern Ireland international has had to play second fiddle to the likes of Joe Hart and Fraser Forster but despite that, he still managed to write his name in the Celtic history books after his penalty heroics against Hearts in the 2020 Scottish Cup Final when we secured the Quadruple Treble.

Hazard also had a very successful loan spell in Finland last season where he helped HJK Helsinki win the title. He also played a huge part in helping the club qualify for the Europa League group stages where he faced the likes of Roma, Real Betis and Ludogorets.

If he passes the medical today, you would imagine that the move will be finalised very quickly and all at 67 Hail Hail wish Hazard all the best for the new chapter in his career.
