It is claimed the teenage Celtic striker is set to earn a new deal at Parkhead.
Jack Aitchison is set to sign a new Celtic contract, according to the Scottish Sun.
The newspaper claims agreement could be reached before the end of this week, with a loan move expected to follow for Aitchison, the Celtic academy striker.
And a five-month spell with Dumbarton is said to be in the pipeline thereafter.
Aitchison burst onto the scene in May 2016 when, at the age of 16, he stepped off the bench to score on debut, as Celtic beat Motherwell 7-0 win in Glasgow.
But the 18-year-old has only played twice for the Bhoys since then, and not since April 2017, with Moussa Dembele, Odsonne Edouard and Leigh Griffiths ahead of him in Brendan Rodgers’ plans.
Nevertheless, it seems Celtic do see a future for the player from West Lothian, who has recently entered the final year of his existing contract.
Dumbarton were relegated last season and now compete in Scotland’s third tier, where they are currently third from bottom.
