Michel-Ange Balikwisha in airport teaser amid Celtic transfer links

Celtic-linked winger Michel-Ange Balikwisha has taken to Instagram this afternoon.

The Belgian has been a long-term Celtic target. 

Despite an injury-plagued 2024/25 campaign, Balikwisha still managed to conjure up four goals and three assists in 17 games for his club, Royal Antwerp.

He spoke about his career to local Belgian media earlier in the year:  "Without the injuries I have had this season, I probably wouldn’t be at Antwerp anymore," said Balikwisha. 

"I suffered a meniscus in the 2024 winter transfer window. And last summer, Celtic, Lille and Lens came knocking, and I was out again at a bad time. I don’t know whether I will leave this summer. The chairman and Marc Overmars will be in charge of that in the coming weeks.

"How I end the play-offs will determine a lot. If I continue on this path with the way I am playing, things can go quickly.

"If it turns out that my Antwerp story is coming to an end, then I hope to sign elsewhere in time, so that I can play a farewell match to the fans."
