Kris Boyd predicts Olivier Ntcham to leave Celtic in the summer transfer window.

Kris Boyd has reminded Celtic fans in The Scottish Sun that he was right when he said that Olivier Ntcham wanted to leave the Hoops for FC Porto.

Ntcham recently told French publication L’Equipe that he wants to leave Celtic in the summer transfer window.

The 23-year-old former Manchester City midfielder said that he was disappointed not to have joined FC Porto last summer, and criticised the standard of football in the Scottish Premiership.

Former Rangers striker Boyd has reminded Celtic fans that he was right when he said that Ntcham wants to leave the Hoops for Porto.

Boyd has also predicted that the Frenchman – who joined the Hoops from City in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £4.5 million – will leave Celtic in the summer transfer window.

Boyd wrote in The Scottish Sun: “I said a long time ago Olivier Ntcham wanted to move on and sign for Porto and I got slaughtered by Celtic fans.

“I would have loved to have seen the look on their faces when they read that interview he did in France during the summer when he backed up everything I said.

“There’s every chance Ntcham will work his ticket before the transfer window closes.”

Title defence

Celtic kicked off their 2019-20 Scottish Premiership campaign with a 7-0 hammering of St. Johnstone at Celtic Park on Saturday afternoon.

The Hoops have won the league title for the past eight seasons, and the Glasgow giants are favourites to clinch the championship this campaign as well.
