Brendan Rodgers has made no secret of his desire to sign Roberts, but initially it seemed that the 20-year-old would move elsewhere.

However, the Scottish Sun suggest that Roberts has his heart set on a Celtic return.

And the rumour has seen Celtic fans race to social media to encourage Roberts to join them again for the upcoming campaign.

If Roberts was to move back to Celtic it is likely that he would go straight back into Rodgers’ first-team.

Celtic have begun their season by making it through in Champions League qualifying and winning 4-1 against Hearts in their Scottish Premiership opener.
