Celtic are reportedly keen on Aberdeen loanee Max Lowe.
Derby County full back Max Lowe is a man in demand after a strong loan spell at Aberdeen last season – but a move back to Pittodrie may not be on the cards.
The 22-year-old spent the first half of the season on loan at Aberdeen before briefly heading back to Derby, only to them return to Aberdeen for the second half of the season.
Lowe impressed under Derek McInnes, and whilst he’s now returning to Derby, his future may lie away from Pride Park, with Celtic and Rangers both keen.
The Daily Record report that Celtic are in talks with Derby about a deal to sign Lowe, as they’re not only looking for a replacement for Emilio Izaguirre, but potentially for Kieran Tierney too.
Rangers are also thought to have added Lowe to their wish list, and both Old Firm clubs will have been interested to see Aberdeen’s latest move.
Aberdeen swooped to land left back Greg Leigh on loan from NAC Breda in the Netherlands on Tuesday evening, seemingly signing him as their new first choice in that area.
The Dons may simply not want to wait for Derby to make a decision on Lowe, but just days after Celtic’s talks emerged, Aberdeen fans are fearing the worst.
Supporters took to Twitter last night to share their thoughts, claiming that Leigh’s arrival must mean that Lowe is on his way, with some believing he’s heading for Celtic, and others disappointed that it seems like Lowe won’t be back in a red shirt.
Others believe Aberdeen have made the right call as they shouldn’t wait around for Lowe, even if they’re gutted that he may be heading elsewhere – and the mood may become even worse if he ends up playing for Celtic against Aberdeen next season.
