Hibernian midfielder Miguel Chaiwa is pushing for a move to Celtic, but the Hoops' supporters have made their disapproval clear. The 22-year-old, who scored twice in 33 appearances last season, is reportedly prioritizing a switch to Parkhead as Celtic seek midfield reinforcements. However, fans are frustrated with the club's slow transfer business, with only two signings made so far this window. League standing: 7th in Premiership, 3 pts, 1W-0D-1L from 2 games, recent form WL.
Why are Celtic fans against the Chaiwa deal?
Celtic supporters have taken to social media to express their dissatisfaction with the potential signing of Chaiwa. One fan wrote, "It's unforgivable if we go from Hatate/Engels to Miguel Chaiwa," while another added, "Not a chance he should be anywhere near Celtic." The Hoops are currently 3 points behind leaders Celtic and are looking to strengthen their squad before the transfer deadline.
What is the latest on Chaiwa's transfer?
According to reports, Hibernian's £4m asking price for Chaiwa is set to be lowered ahead of a possible switch to Celtic. The midfielder joined Hibs from Young Boys last summer and has been linked with a move to Parkhead throughout the transfer window. However, Celtic were previously unwilling to meet Hibs' £7m valuation of his services.
What comes next for Hibernian?
With Chaiwa's future uncertain, Hibernian will be looking to make the most of their remaining squad. The club's next fixture is against ST Mirren at home on 2026-12-30, with the visitors currently sitting 2nd in the table. Goals this season: 3 scored, 3 conceded (0 goal difference).
