Unsurprisingly, it appears that Celtic have no interest in letting Edouard leave Parkhead this month. And that has seemingly prompted Palace to consider a change of plan.

TBR View – Massive boost for Celtic

Behind the scenes, Edouard may have already made it clear that he is happy to stay anyway. But it could still be deemed a big boost that Celtic have seemingly done enough to put Palace off this month.

But Celtic appear to have made a big statement ahead of the second-half of the season by forcing one of his admirers into a change of plan.
