The Story in 60 Seconds

Celtic could revive their transfer interest in Gvidas Gineitis in January after the Lithuania midfielder voiced frustration over his role and tactical changes under manager Ignazio Abate. The Scottish champions previously pursued the 23-year-old playmaker last summer as a replacement for Arne Engels, but a potential £9 million permanent transfer bid was rejected by his Serie A club.

A potential move for Gineitis comes amid limited playing time for Celtic midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain under manager Martin O'Neill. Pundit Michael Stewart highlighted that O'Neill has settled on a preferred midfield of Callum McGregor, Mika Baur, and Benjamin Nygren, leaving the 33-year-old former England international largely sidelined despite signing a contract extension.
