Will Jeffrey Schlupp return to Celtic next season?
That’s one of the big questions the Celtic fans are asking ahead of the summer transfer window re-opening.
One thing everyone knows is that Schlupp will leave Crystal Palace. His current contract at Selhurst Park expires at the end of June, and he was given a send-off on social media.
The 32-year-old joined Palace in 2017, and the Celtic Park faithful won’t be surprised to hear that he was a popular player during his time at the club.
Schlupp got a lot of plaudits for what he did in Glasgow, and now he is getting the same as he becomes a free agent.
