Celtic have approached Inverness Caley Thistle about a Loan Cooperation Agreement, the League One side claims.
The Premiership champions have already entered a partnership with Ayr United after plans for one with Queen's Park fell by the wayside. Jude Bonnar and Kyle Ure have moved on loan to Scott Brown's team.
However, they are able to enter an agreement with one team from each division.
And Caley Thistle interim chief executive Charlie Christie has said Celtic's Professional Player Pathway Manager, Shaun Maloney, has approached him because their style of play fits.

Christie told the Inverness Courier: “We have been offered it by two or three clubs. Shaun Maloney drove up from Glasgow and said to me that they had done the data on the way Caley Thistle play.
“He said that we are only one of two clubs in League One that they would put players to and that is compliment to Scott Kellacher. Celtic is one we are looking at.”
However, the ICT legend has stipulated that the players must be of a high enough standard before being sent to them.
He said: “When you look at the quality we have in our team, it is like us loaning players out to the Highland League, they need to be playing.”
