John Collins expects Celtic players to make exit

Assistant manager John Collins expects players to leave Celtic at the end of the season as he admitted the difficulty of keeping a big squad happy.

The former Hoops and Scotland player was speaking a day after it was confirmed that Norwegian midfielder Kristoffer Ajer will join the Parkhead club in June on a four-year deal following a January trial.

The 17-year-old will provide added competition in an area which looks particularly over-stocked already, with new additions Scott Allan and Ryan Christie struggling for game time and Patrick Roberts, on loan from Manchester City, yet to make an appearance.
