da roleta： Celtic right-back Cristian Gamboa is on the verge of a Parkhead exit, with FC Copenhagen his likely destination, according to The Scottish Sun.
What’s the story?
The Costa Rican international’s contract expires at the end of the season and the paper say he is certain not to receive an offer to continue his Celtic Park stay.
The report states he will reject a return to his homeland after being offered a deal by Deportiva Alajuelense, opening the door for a potential switch to Denmark.
Gamboa has managed to make just seven appearances this season for the Hoops, with Celtic signing Jeremy Toljan on loan in January and effectively ending the 29-year-old’s hopes of playing regular matches.

He’s not the only right-back that could leave Celtic Park this summer either, with Mikael Lustig receiving lucrative offers and Toljan heading back to parent club Borussia Dortmund.
Can Anthony Ralston step up?
The jury is out on whether Ralston can be a regular at Celtic, but the departure of players such as Gamboa and Toljan certainly gives him a bit of room to get more appearances under his belt and develop further.
Ralston made his debut aged 17 and his initial appearances at the club drew favourable comparisons to Kieran Tierney, who broke through into the team as a full-back at a similar age.
Since then he’s failed to really kick on and recent performances, like in the recent match against Hearts, haven’t drawn incredible reviews from supporters.
Nonetheless it’s important to remember he is still very young and his contract at Celtic doesn’t expire until 2022, meaning he has plenty of time to make his name in green and white.
There’s absolutely no doubt that the Hoops need to go out and sign a quality right-back this summer, but since they have Ralston they arguably don’t need to buy two.
He may not quite have the talent Tierney has but he has only made 15 career appearances for the club and it’s far too soon to write him off yet. Getting rid of mediocre talent in his position can only be a benefit to him.
