Celtic youngster Jack Aitchison is reportedly on the radar of Alloa Athletic in the January transfer window.

Ross McCrorie of Rangers vies with Jack Aitchison of Celtic during The Scottish FA Youth Cup Final between Celtic and Rangers at Hampden Park on April 26, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

According to The Scottish Sun, Alloa Athletic are interested in signing Celtic youngster Jack Aitchison on loan in the January transfer window.

It has been reported that Alloa manager Jim Goodwin has asked Celtic about signing the 18-year-old, who can operate as a forward or as an attacking midfielder.

Leaving Celtic

Aitchison is a very good and promising young player who has already played for the Celtic first team.

However, with the signings of Timothy Weah and Vakoun Issouf Bayo in the January transfer window, it is going to be hard for the 18-year-old to get much playing time for the Hoops this season.

Alloa are eighth in the Scottish Championship table at the moment with 23 points from 21 matches.

Goodwin’s side are not having a great time this season, and the signing of Aitchison will enhance their chances of escaping the drop from the second tier of Scottish football.

Meanwhile, Celtic currently find themselves at the top of the Scottish Premiership table with 42 points from 20 matches, level on points with second-placed Rangers, who have played 21 games.
