Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers had previously stated that he didn’t want to sign a centre-back.
According to the Glasgow Evening Times, Celtic are in the hunt for the signing of a centre-back.
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers has had to change his transfer plans following an injury to Filip Benkovic, which is due to keep him out for weeks.
However, Celtic’s numbers at the back now look short, and Rodgers is looking on the market for a centre-back again.
The decision to sign a central defender represents a late u-turn from Rodgers, and Celtic are now under pressure to get a deal done quickly.
The Bhoys have just days left to complete a deal before the transfer window slams shut.
The identity of Celtic’s main target is not yet known, but they now face a race against time to get a deal over the line.
Celtic’s task is further complicated by the fact that they play tonight against St. Johnstone.
