Celtic make improved offer for Jonny Hayes

Celtic have made an improved bid to Aberdeen for winger Jonny Hayes, according to Scott Burns of the Express.

Brendan Rodgers seems keen to get a deal for the 29-year-old done quickly and according to the report, Celtic have made a bid of £1.3million for the player and have also said that they’d let Ryan Christie return to Pittodrie on a season-long loan.

Things were put on hold whilst Christie was on international duty for the Republic of Ireland and the player indicated last week that he intends to go on holiday to Florida with his family, but with negotiations ongoing, he could be forced to fly back early to complete a deal.

There had been a lot of talk about Christie potentially leaving permanently this summer, with Aberdeen one of his potential suitors but it looks like Celtic are happy to let him go on loan again in a bid to get a deal for Hayes over the line.
