Celtic are chasing Dylan Reid and will hold talks with the St Mirren talent today after Rangers failed with a bid for the midfielder.
The Bhoys have enjoyed a very productive window this summer and there will be plenty more to come.
First-team additions have been the focus with Benjamin Siegrist and Alexandro Bernabei arriving.
Loanees Daizen Maeda, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Jota have stayed put, meaning Celtic are primed for another title push next season.
Adding players for the future will be a priority too though, and Celtic seem to be closing in on St Mirren’s Dylan Reid.
Celtic are chasing Dylan Reid
The Daily Record claim that Celtic will hold talks with teenager Reid over a move to Parkhead today.
It’s claimed that Celtic have agreed a fee of £125,000 with St Mirren for Reid’s signature.
Talks will now be held today with Reid speaking to coaches Stephen McManus and Darren O’Dea over a move.
First-team coach Ange Postecoglou is away in Austria right now but will allegedly be involved in the talks via Zoom.
Celtic will now attempt a charm offensive to convince Reid into signing despite rival interest from Benfica and Rangers.
Rangers have made a cash bid for Reid but St Mirren have rejected that offer whilst accepting Celtic’s.
That leaves Rangers lagging behind Celtic in the race for Reid and the Bhoys will be pushing for an agreement during talks today.
Reid, 17, has come up through the St Mirren ranks and has already picked up four first-team appearances for the club.
Reid is diminutive and technically-gifted whilst being considered as one of Scottish football’s top young talents.
Celtic of course want players of that ilk and seemingly believe that Reid has a huge future ahead of him.
Rangers beat Celtic to Motherwell teenager Bailey Rice earlier this summer but the Bhoys seem to be in a great place to hit back by securing Reid.
