JAMES McCARTHY’S Celtic misery may be about to end.
The 32-year-old Republic of Ireland midfielder has figured in just 62 minutes of first-team action this season and his last sighting was as a substitute in the 2-1 win over St Johnstone in Perth on October 8 last year.
McCarthy last figured in a match day squad on November 2 when he was an unused substitute in the 5-1 Champions League loss to Real Madrid in the Bernabeu. Since then, there has been no sign of the player.

The Glaswegian, who has also played for Hamilton Accies, Wigan and Everton, was one of Ange Postecoglou’s first recruits for the club when he arrived in early August 2021 as a free agent after quitting Crystal Palace.
All in, McCarthy made a mere five appearances in this title-winning crusade.
