Brendan Rodgers has confirmed where the future of some of Celtic’s players on the fringes of the first team lies.

Celtic have added six players to their squad this season and a seventh is expected to join when Shin Yamada is confirmed by the Hoops.

Benjamin Nygren has excelled in pre-season but it was obvious after the win against Sporting that Celtic need more attackers.

Incomings are the priority but the Celtic manager has confirmed that two players are almost certainly heading for the exit door.

Luis Palma and Kwon to leave Celtic this summer

Two players who have been linked away with moves are Luis Palma and Hyeokkyu Kwon.

Palma has been training with his boyhood club in Honduras after being allowed extra time off following his participation in the Gold Cup but is no longer favoured by Rodgers.

Kwon meanwhile is of interest to Austria Vienna and after the win in Faro, Rodgers confirmed that both would be welcome to leave.

He told the Daily Record: “Luis will probably go out on loan.

“Kwon is in a difficult position with the competition there so he’s obviously looking for a club.”

Brendan Rodgers wants to keep Yang at Celtic

Another player of interest to clubs is Hyunjun Yang.

Norwich City are fans of Yang and the South Korea international is said to be keen on the move.

Last year supporters saw glimpses of what the wide man could offer after hitting a bit of a form but his inconsistency has suggested that he wouldn’t be the biggest loss in the world.

But, Rodgers has suggested that he will stay, saying: “There’s been a little bit of interest in Yang but he’s been a good squad player for us.”
