Celtic loanee Julian Araujo's cousin has dropped a hint over the defender's future.

The right-back has been the pick of the bunch of January signings since joining on loan from Bournemouth and has become a fan favourite with his all-action displays, as well as his spiky character.

There is no option to buy included in the loan but fans would still love to see him permanently, which would give them two quality options at right-back once Alistair Johnston returns from injury.

If the club are interested they could face competition, with Cruz Azul in his Mexican homeland reportedly preparing an attempt to lure him.

However, Araujo's cousin has offered Celtic supporters some hope.



He has been attending games and active on social media and that has led to one fan asking him on Instagram: "What are the chances of your brother being in a Celtic jersey next season?"

He replied: "Chances are high."

One fan said on social media: "Don't get my hopes up."

While another added: "Please, I beg."

Araujo missed the win over Motherwell on Saturday as the injury issues mount up at the club, with Martin O'Neill revealing it was a thigh problem.
