On January 12 it was just another rumour but Celtic Underground does have something of a track record of getting things right on the transfer front.
Last night, for the second match running, Nicky Hammond was watching Hibs in action ,adding strength to claims that Martin Boyle is on his way to Celtic.
A few pieces of the jig-saw are coming together. Neil Lennon has mentioned looking to add a winger to his squad with Boyle one of his top performers during his spell as Hibs manager.
A year ago Boyle’s career was in the doldrums. After being called up to play for Australia for the Asian Cup the Aberdeen born winger suffered a serious knee injury in a warm up match.
Returning to Hibs he was soon without a manager as Lennon left the club. Three games into his comeback, away to Elgin in the League Cup he suffered another knee injury that kept him out until the end of October and the last days of Paul Heckinbottom.
Jack Ross doesn’t want to lose him, Rod Petrie detests dealing with Celtic, relations are strained between Leeann Dempster and Neil Lennon but with eight days left Celtic Underground might be closing in on another successful rumour.
Martin Boyle of Hibs. I know. I thought that as well.

Don’t shoot the messenger
Been told that Martin Boyle to Celtic “looks likely” ?
Hope the info is wrong……..or if it’s right that it’s at the end of the season

Martin Boyle wouldn’t be the worst signing.

Can genuinely see Celtic going in for Martin Boyle, just feels like one that genuinely could have some legs

Seems like we’re genuinely interested in Martin Boyle this window if Nick Hammond was at Easter Road as well tonight.

Martin Boyle isn’t a glamorous name but domestically he’s proven, could he make the step up in Europe? Won’t know unless he gets a chance same as any player we’ve signed from a Scottish club, a think he’s worth a punt, pace he has is absolutely frightening for defenders
