Celtic have reportedly recalled the US-based midfielder.

Celtic have recalled Mark Hill from his loan spell in the United States, according to The Scottish Sun.

The 22-year-old midfielder only joined USL side Charlotte Independence in March.

But after only nine games of his loan, The Scottish Sun claim that Celtic have brought him back to Lennoxtown.

The report, however, adds that there is no reason as of yet why the Hoops have recalled Hill, who is contracted to the Scottish giants until next summer.

Nevertheless, it’s unlikely that the reason has anything to do with Neil Lennon wanting him in the senior squad.

That is because the Celtic boss has a stupid number of brilliant midfielders at his disposal and it’s nigh-on impossible to picture Hill breaking into contention this season.

On the flip side, he can also play centre-back [Transfermarkt] and Lennon isn’t as well stocked in that department, despite spending £7 million on Christopher Jullien.

But even as a defender, it’s still a reach to wonder if Hill will be playing under Lennon this term.
