James Maddison has reacted to the news that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has signed a new contract at Celtic.
The Tottenham Hotspur star responded with two love-eyed emojis on Celtic's Instagram page.

What happened?

Celtic confirmed the deal on their Instagram page, with Oxlade-Chamberlain set to stay at the club until at least 2027.

The former Liverpool midfielder played a vital role in Celtic's domestic double victory last season.

Why it matters for James Maddison

Maddison and Oxlade-Chamberlain have previously played together for the England National Team.

The Tottenham star had a tough 2025-26 campaign, having been injured for the majority of the season.

What comes next?

Oxlade-Chamberlain's new contract will be a boost to Celtic ahead of the new campaign.

The midfielder played nine matches in the Scottish Premiership last season and scored two goals.

He averaged 0.42 goals per 90 minutes, with a 0.17 xG, and 1.91 shots.

Celtic will look to retain the Scottish Premiership title in the 2026-27 campaign.

The club has yet to bring in a new face this summer, so Oxlade-Chamberlain's addition will be a welcome boost.

Maddison's reaction on Instagram suggests he is happy to see his former teammate thriving at Celtic.

The 32-year-old's experience will be valuable to Celtic in the upcoming season.

Oxlade-Chamberlain's ability to have a big impact as a substitute will be important for Celtic.

He had 1.91 chances created and 0.85 successful dribbles per 90 minutes last season.

Celtic's fans will be hoping Oxlade-Chamberlain can continue to make a big impact in the 2026-27 campaign.
