Celtic are reportedly set to sign Dundee goalkeeper Scott Bain.
According to Sky Sports, Celtic are set to sign Dundee goalkeeper Scott Bain in a bizarre deadline day transfer triangle involving Hibernian.
The Bhoys have already tied up January deals for Marvin Compper, Lewis Morgan and Charly Musonda, but have now been forced to dip back into the market.
An injury to goalkeeper Craig Gordon has left manager Brendan Rodgers short of options between the sticks, having loaned Conor Hazard to Falkirk.
Celtic’s focus on deadline day has been surrounding the arrival of a goalkeeper, and Sky Sports report that a deal has now been agreed to sign Dundee’s Scott Bain.
Bain, 26, will join Celtic on loan until the end of the season, and the goalkeeper’s imminent move to Celtic Park comes part of a bizarre transfer triangle.
Bain has been out on loan at Hibernian, but they have agreed to terminate his loan, and will take Celtic’s Scott Allan – who has been on loan at Dundee himself – on loan in return.
Dundee aren’t left empty-handed though, as Hibs will send striker Simon Murray to Dens Park on loan, with the three clubs working hard to find a suitable arrangement for all parties on deadline day.
