Celtic hero Julian Araujo could be set for an international recall with Mexico for the first time in nine months after boss Javier Aguirre revealed he's been in talks with the defender.
The on loan Bournemouth full back has quickly developed into a fans favourite with Hoops supporters after several exuberant celebrations.
He has won 16 caps, but dropped out of the Mexico picture when he lost his place in the Bournemouth side in the first half of the season.
Araujo was last selected by Mexico for the CONCACAF Gold Cup where he played in the quarter finals and semi finals, but was injured for the win in the final against the USA.
The former Barcelona defender has not featured in any of Mexico's nine games since then, but is in line to be selected for their double-header this month against Portugal in Mexico City and Belgium in Chicago.

Aguirre said: "It’s true that I also spoke with Julian Araujo, who is currently doing well in Scotland.
"Right back is a position where I have many options.
"We have Rodrigo Huescas at FC Copenhagen too and I want to see our players in Europe in the future."
Araujo was capped once for the USA and played against El Salvador six years ago, before he personally contacted FIFA to switch international allegiances to play for Mexico.
Last month, he explained why he made the switch. He said: "I idolised Rafa Marquez, Andres Guardado, Chicharito Hernandez, Giovanni Dos Santos, Jonathan Dos Santos, Memo Ochoa and Raul Jimenez.
"I dreamed of playing with them and wearing the Mexico jersey. I never had that feeling with the USA national team. I never woke up in the middle of the night to watch a USA game."
