Could Celtic’s Next Great Strikeforce Start With A Player Already In The Building?

What if the answer to Celtic’s striker problem isn’t waiting in another country?

What if he’s already at the club?

As supporters debate who Celtic should sign this summer, Callum Osmand has quietly been making a strong case for himself every time he has pulled on the Hoops.

The 20-year-old arrived from Fulham with an excellent goalscoring reputation, and although his first-team opportunities have been limited, he has shown exactly what supporters want to see.

Energy.

Movement.

Composure.

A natural eye for goal.

Every appearance has hinted at a striker who isn’t afraid to make runs in behind, press defenders relentlessly and attack the penalty area with confidence.

He’s looked hungry from the moment he stepped onto the pitch.

Of course, Celtic still need to bring in another striker. One young player cannot be expected to shoulder the responsibility of leading the line throughout a demanding domestic and European campaign.

Strength in depth will be essential.

But Osmand deserves far more than a few cameo appearances.

He deserves a genuine run in the team.

Imagine a new-look Celtic attack built around pace, movement and energy, with exciting new signings supporting a young striker desperate to prove himself.

That’s a forward line supporters could really get behind.

Every great Celtic player started with an opportunity.

Callum Osmand has shown enough to suggest he’s earned one.

The question now is simple.

Could Celtic’s next first-choice striker already be wearing the famous green and white hoops?
