Celtic have had an excellent transfer window.

The Hoops have signed six players in total but nobody has arrived at Parkhead since the addition of Shane Duffy, who joined on loan over a month ago.

Boli Bolingoli has left the club since then and the truth is that Celtic boss Neil Lennon needs a left-back – and fast.

The good news is that one of their reported targets just might be available.

Barry Douglas, a £3 million signing by Leeds in 2018, was not included in the squad that drew 1-1 with Manchester City last night.

With a matter of days left in the transfer window down South, there is every chance that his omission is linked to a potential exit.

The Scotland international is the only player who could leave the Premier League new boys between now and the end of the window, it was reported this week.

The trail seems to have gone cold on Celtic’s interest, with The Daily Mail reporting on 29 August that the Bhoys have held talks about bringing him to Glasgow.

And although there’s been little since, that might be about to change on the back of his omission last night.
