Celtic fans spot Ola Solbakken transfer clue but everything may not be as it seems

Social media sleuths reckon that Ola Solbakken is sending clues over a potential move to Celtic.

The Bodo/Glimt winger is reportedly a back-up option should Jota decide against a permanent transfer from Benfica in the summer.

Solbakken has caught the eye in the Norwegian sides Europa Conference League campaign and even scored against Celtic as the eliminated Ange Postecoglou 's team in the knockout stage.

The prospect of a move has caught the imagination of fans - and some eagle-eyed punters reckons a clue is hiding in plain sight on Instagram.

The 23-year-old currently has a four-leaf clover in his Instagram profile - an emoji often used by Parkhead fans online to represent the Celtic badge.

One supporter on Twitter noted the profile, commenting: "Interesting bio..."

Another joked: "67 posts (to Instagram), it’s a sign" - referencing Celtic's European Cup victory.

However, despite excited fans looking to read between the lines in the last 24 hours all may not be as it seems.

The clover has been in Solbakken's bio on social media for months being used in the traditional sense - as a symbol for luck.

Realising this, one fan chimed in: "Was it like that a couple of months ago...possibly. Am I taking it as a sign he's joining... absolutely."
