Celtic 'on alert' as Crystal Palace set to axe former Hamilton star

Celtic could move for midfield ace James McCarthy with news that the former Hamilton Accies star is set to leave Crystal Palace.

The Selhurst Park club are set for a summer rebuild, with boss Roy Hodgson leaving at the end of this season, and with several players out of contract, the Premier League club is prepared to let a few of them leave.

According to The Athletic, one of those is McCarthy, who Celtic expressed an interest in earlier this season - but there is reportedly interest in him from Newcastle United as well.

McCarthy, who is a Celtic fan, has enjoyed a good career in England, having left Hamilton in 2009 for Wigan Athletic, with a move to Everton in 2013 and Palace in 2019..

The 30-year-old has also made 43 appearances for Republic of Ireland.
