Celtic unveiled their 2024/25 squad photo on Friday, but eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot a notable absence.

Midfielder Odin Thiago Holm, who has featured in three league matches this season, was missing from the lineup, raising questions among supporters.

Holm, who joined the Hoops last summer, has already endured a challenging season, including being dropped from Celtic’s Champions League squad. His absence from the 2024/25 squad photo has only fueled further speculation about his current standing within the team.

In addition to Odin Thiago Holm, first-team coach Gavin Strachan was also notably absent, raising further questions. So far, no explanation has been provided for either absence.

On a more positive note, the squad photo featured several exciting young talents, with Francis Turley, Colby Donovan, and Josh Clarke making the cut. Adam Montgomery, who was loaned to Motherwell last January but returned early due to injury, was also included, drawing attention as he aims to bounce back and earn a spot in Brendan Rodgers’ plans.

Despite these promising inclusions, Holm’s absence remains the biggest talking point, leaving fans speculating about his future role with the team.

James McCarthy was quietly released by the club this summer, explaining his absence from the squad photo.

Looking ahead, Celtic will face Aberdeen this weekend, followed by a crucial Champions League clash against Europa League champions Atalanta in Italy on Wednesday night.
