There are new updates on two Celtic-linked players: Miguel Chaiwa and Barney Stewart.
The pair are among many Scottish Premiership players linked with the Hoops in recent months, with a major rebuild ahead this summer.
Chaiwa has shown immense promise in his debut season at Hibs, whilst Stewart’s breakthrough since being recalled by Falkirk in January has been extraordinary.
Both have been linked with Celtic, but both aren’t short on suitors.
Should Celtic try and sign Hibs midfielder Miguel Chaiwa? Let us know in the comments below.

As reported by the Daily Record. West Bromwich Albion have already had a £1 million bid rejected by Falkirk for Stewart.
Celtic’s concrete interest in Chaiwa has been well-documented, but according to Rudy Galetti, there are now new clubs in the race.

Genoa, Toulouse and Club Brugge have all reportedly made approaches according to Galetti. It looks likely that the midfielder will leave Easter Road this summer.
Of course, Toulouse could be managed by Jens Berthel Askou next season, and his knowledge of Chaiwa from the Scottish game make it a decent match.
Stewart has already hit double figures since being recalled from a loan at Dunfermline in January. The 6 ft 2 striker has a number of English clubs chasing him.
Hibs paid a fee of £600,000 to bring Chaiwa to Scotland from Switzerland last year. He faced Celtic in the Champions League’s League Phase last season.
Aged 22, he has 16 caps for the Zambian national team and featured for them at this season’s Africa Cup of Nations.
He was particularly impressive in the Hibees’ win at Celtic Park earlier this year, playing a one-two with Felix Passlack in the build-up to the winning goal.
Just? Maswanhise? Mulligan? Someone else?
Other Scottish Premiership players linked with Celtic
There is an unusually high number of players in the Scottish Premiership being linked with the Hoops at the minute, with Chaiwa among them.
Elijah Just of Motherwell continues to be intensely linked; there looks set to be a race for him in the summer.
Just’s teammate, Tawanda Maswanhise, also continues to be linked after a stellar season, reportedly being subject to a scouting visit from O’Neill in January.
Luke Graham, David Watson and Josh Mulligan are three more recent examples.
