Andy Irving had been frequently linked with Celtic over the past 12 months or so. Reports in the summer claimed the Parkhead club had made a bid for the midfielder. Celtic reportedly bid £2.2 million for the player in the summer. According to reports at the time, his side, which is now in the relegation zone, was seeking a fee of about £3.5 million. That transfer has now officially been ruled out, as Irving is choosing a move to the Czech Republic instead. Celtic were said to be admirers of Irving, but with the player now signing with Sparta, those links have ended.

According to Claret & Hugh, Andy Irving is expected to leave West Ham in January, and there is interest in him from Celtic, Rangers, and Wrexham. Celtic may renew their interest in the 25-year-old after West Ham rejected an offer from the club of over €2 million in August. It is reported that Nuno Espirito Santo’s side is willing to sell the midfielder if they receive a suitable bid from any interested party.

Celtic has been linked with a move for Scottish West Ham playmaker Andy Irving, 25, with a £3.5 million price tag. They face competition from Rangers and clubs in Serie A and the Bundesliga. Irving's contract with West Ham is set to expire in June 2026, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €4.00m.
