Celtic are plotting a sensational move to sign on-loan Rangers star Emerson Hyndman for next season.

MailSport understands the Parkhead club have made an inquiry to his parent club Bournemouth about the midfielder’s availability in the summer.

The American is on loan at Ibrox after being signed by former Gers boss Mark Warburton in January.

But Celtic gaffer Brendan Rodgers is now keen on Hyndman and wants him to join their Old Firm rivals next term.

The 20-year-old has been excellent for Rangers since his arrival, scoring four goals in 11 games, and he’s become a fans’ favourite at Ibrox.

Hyndman almost earned a late winner in yesterday’s 1-1 draw with Motherwell and played a key role in Rangers’ recent 1-1 draw at Celtic Park when his shot was parried to Clint Hill, who equalised.

He still has three years left on his contract but boss Eddie Howe could be willing to let him leave due to limited first-team chances in the Premier League.

Hyndman joined Bournemouth from Fulham in 2016 for a fee of around £750,000.

But now Celtic are ready to go after him and have made initial contact with the Cherries.
