IT'S THE LATEST HEADLINES FROM PARKHEAD ALL IN ONE PLACE AS BRENDAN RODGERS GETS SET FOR A BUSY SUMMEER 09:26, 01 Jun 2025 Brendan Rodgers has reportedly started planning for life after


Greg Taylor. The Celtic defender - who is heading out of contract - has yet to commit to a new deal with his future looking increasingly likely to be away from the Scottish champions with


no communication either way on his next step. His club boss made a number of public pleas and made his feelings clear on wanting him tied down to fresh terms - even with the incoming arrival


of Kieran Tierney. Jeffrey Schlupp's loan deal is over and his future is not yet known after his exit from Crystal Palace but The Sun claim the Hoops have target a new left-back from


the EFL. They state Peterborough full-back Harley Mills is wanted north of the border as a back-up for the returning KT. Fulham are claimed to have made a £1million approach to the Posh and


now Celtic have entered the chase with Mills reportedly one of the potential names on his list of targets. Article continues below Meanwhile, forgotten man Marco Tillio is determined to get


on the pitch for Australia in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers. He's fresh off winning silverware with Melbourne City and is determined to show his worth to the Socceroos in the


upcoming double-header with Japan and Saudi Arabia. He admits his future at club level is 'up in the air' at the moment - but full focus is on the internationals. He said: "I


feel in a really good place. My future is obviously up in the air at the moment, so I'm unsure what is going to happen. "It's always been about just playing well. I know when


I'm playing well that people are always watching. “I want to do everything I can to help Australia qualify for another World Cup. "I took everything in from last camp and put


myself in the position now where I feel I’m better for it. I just want to execute everything that I know that I can, and put myself in the position to hopefully be in the squad and play.


"It's been 18 months since I’ve actually stepped on the pitch for the national team. “So I think it’s at that time now that I put myself in a position to play well, get an


opportunity to do well, and hopefully, sort of cement a spot in there.” Elsewhere, Kasper Schmeichel has been tipped to once again show his worth at Celtic next season. The veteran keeper


dropped a clanger in the Scottish Cup Final defeat to Aberdeen at Hampden in a rare blot on a solid debut season. The Denmark legend has suffered harsh criticism in his homeland for his from


on the national team stage. But Marc Rieper reckons while his best games of his career are likely past him, he is still far from finished. He said: “The best games of his career are


probably behind him now. But he's still a top class keeper and he'll be great for Celtic next season as well. “Kasper has had an unbelievable career, from obviously being in the


shadow of his dad to then just making a name for himself. “He's not played in as big clubs as Peter has. But the way he's performed for the clubs he has and winning the league with


Leicester, which is probably one of the biggest achievements in British football history, I think he's had an amazing career. “You can only just take your hat off for him and be proud


of what he's achieved, both in the clubs he's played for and with the Danish national team. He’s been tremendous. “We’ve got some young talent coming through in Denmark who's


eventually going to take over Kasper's spot. “Is that going to be now or is that going to be in a year's time? I don't know, I think they're all good keepers. Article

playing regularly too. But I’m sure there’s a few caps left for Kasper.”
