Celtic have reportedly made an enquiry to try sign Stoke City defender Moritz Bauer – and some of the club’s supporters on Twitter are excited about the approach.

According to the Scottish Daily Mail, Brendan Rodgers has made contact with Championship side Stoke City by enquiring for their right-back.

It is understood that the Bhoys want to add a right-back to their squad before the close of the summer transfer window on Friday, leaving them with very little time to complete a deal.

Bauer is a full-back that is renowned for being a speed machine that loves to attack down the flank, something that would surely make him a hit at Parkhead.

The six-time capped Austria international has experience in the Premier League from last season and is a tenacious competitor that has become well liked by Stoke fans.

Celtic do have a number of options currently in their squad at full-back, with Mikael Lustig and Cristian Gamboa the senior pair battling for one position on the right.

Rodgers’ side have made an underwhelming start to the new season and a new signing could boost morale, as they have already been dumped out of the Champions League and suffered a defeat in the league.

A selection of Celtic supporters are convinced that Bauer is the type of addition to the squad that would be a good one.

Here is some of the Celtic reaction to the reported Bauer enquiry:
