'O'Neill unaware of trialist goalkeeper Inzalaco' - gossip

What the report says
BBC Sport Football reports that Celtic manager Martin O'Neill said he was unaware that Perth RedStar goalkeeper Sonny Inzalaco had been training with the club at Lennoxtown. Inzalaco is described in the report as a 19-year-old Australia youth international, and the article notes separate gossip that Wrexham are also interested in him. BBC Sport adds that Inzalaco had reportedly been on trial at Blackburn Rovers during the summer.
The piece also says O'Neill played down another training stint involving free agent midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko, who has been without a club since leaving PAOK in July 2025. O'Neill is quoted indirectly as saying Celtic will not make signings before January, underlining that any short-term activity at the club is expected to be limited.
Beyond Celtic’s immediate transfer talk, the article includes a wider Scottish football note that the Scottish Professional Football League hopes to bring away fans back to Old Firm matches between Celtic and Rangers as soon as possible. That would be a notable shift for the derby, which has often had fan restrictions for safety and policing reasons. The report frames both the transfer chatter and the fan issue as part of a broader set of Scottish football talking points.
