A Parkhead return for the Arsenal full back could hinge on the future of Barcelona loanee Valle
Barcelona will reportedly allow Alex Valle to join Como - but only if Celtic agree to terminate the full back's loan deal.
Sky Sports claim that the Catalan giants are open to sending the defender to Italy for the remainder of the season, but will only do so if Celtic agree to cut short the loan. Allowing Valle to leave could open the door for a sensational Celtic return for Kieran Tierney, with the Premiership champions currently in talks over a pre-contract agreement with the Arsenal defender that will see him re-join his boyhood club on a free transfer next summer.
The arrival of new Young Boys boss Giorgio Contini has seen regular stopper David von Ballmoss dropped in favour of 22-year-old Marvin Keller, who previously only had four first team appearances to his name. Celtic know that three points against the Swiss League champions will secure them a play-off spit with a game to spare, while the visitors have already been knocked out of the competition having lost all six of their group games.
