It’s the drama that has consumed Celtic fans all summer- when/is Paddy coming home?
Since the final whistle in the Scottish Cup Final there has been non-stop speculation over whether that was a farewell appearance from the winger.
Social media has been covered in messages about the possibility of a return with every action from the player open to interpretation.
Checking Twitter b4 stepping into work 2 see if anything’s materialised on @patrick7roberts. Like I’ve not being doing it since cup final????????????

Finding checking twitter every 5 mins to see if @patrick7roberts is signing for us is frustrating. I think he’ll end up at Southampton now ????

At a couple of points it has seemed like it was time to move on but the longer there has been no decision the more hope there has been of a return to Celtic and that bromance with Kieran Tierney.
Yesterday was a day fraught with tension over a move to Nice but that deadline passed with Roberts still on the fringes of Pep Guardiola’s plans.
With Brendan Rodgers and Chris Davies speaking positively about a return it seems that the long wait may be about to deliver a happy ending.
