Transfer expect Fabrizio Romano has posted a brilliant update on Celtic starlet Mitchel Frame who has been the subject of significant interest from numerous English Premier League sides amid fears that Celtic would be about to lose yet another of our top young stars.
However those fears appear to be unfounded as Romano reports that Mitchel Farms is set to sign a new contract that will see him remain at Celtic until at least June 2026.

The left back has been a star performer in the Celtic B team under Stephen McManus and Darren O’Dea and has also impressed in the Celtic under-18s and for Scotland at under-17s level. Both Brighton and Crystal Palace have been targeting the 17 year old as Celtic supporters feared another Ben Doak situation developing with this one, but happily Michael Nicholson looks like he has succeeded in convincing Mitchel that his future is as a Celtic player.
