Celtic supporters have taken to Twitter to comment on reports the club could sign Burnley duo Jeff Hendrick and Robbie Brady on free transfers,

According to TEAMtalk, the Bhoys and Newcastle United are keen.

Hendrick and Brady are out of contract at Burnley this summer, meaning they can walk away from Turf Moor on a free transfer.

Some Celtic fans are excited at the prospect of them playing at Celtic Park.

Some other Celtic fans, however, aren’t totally convinced.

Hendrick, 28, joined Burnley for £10 million from Derby County back in 2016.

The Republic of Ireland international has made more than 100 Premier League appearances for the Clarets, including 22 starts this season.

Brady, 28, joined Burnley from Norwich City for £13 million in January 2017.

Brady, however, has made just five Premier League starts this season and an exit from Turf Moor this summer looks somewhat inevitable.

The duo could give Celtic more options in midfield.

Neil Lennon currently has the likes of Scott Brown, Callum McGregor and Olivier Ntcham for options. The latter, however, has been linked with a move away from the club.
