Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has addressed Adam Idah's absence at Ibrox this afternoon.
The Irish striker is not in the squad for the Scottish Premiership champions amid reports of a £7million move to Swansea City.
Speaking to BBC Scotland before today's derby, Rodgers admitted a deal is nearing completion: "It's close," he said.
"It's not quite there yet, but it's very close, hence why he's not here."

Addressing potential incomings, the Celtic manager stated: "We need a number of players in, not just in the centre forward position.
"I'm hopeful that over the next 24 hours we can get the reinforcements we need in the front line.
"We miss a profile of player at the top end of the field. The guys that are here, it's about attitude. These games are all games of attitude."
One player Celtic have been linked with to fill the void Idah may leave is Kasper Dolberg.
He is in Anderlecht's squad to face Union Saint-Gilloise in the Belgian top flight today, however.
Whether he becomes a Celtic player before tomorrow's 11pm transfer deadline remains to be seen.
