Celtic 'on brink' of signing Scottish Championship defender

Celtic are reportedly close to signing Greenock Morton defender Isaac English. 

The Parkhead club are 'on the brink' of agreeing a fee in the region of £50,000 for the 17-year-old, claims SunSport

English has been training with Dougie Imrie's senior squad at Cappielow and impressed as Morton's under-18s lifted the Club Academy Scotland Performance League title last season.

He is not the only promising youngster who could be joining the Parkhead ranks this summer. 

Indeed, Sky Sports reports that teenage Fulham striker Callum Osmand has agreed terms on a move to Glasgow's east end after completing a medical. 

It comes after Kieran Tierney completed his emotional Celtic return this afternoon. 

"Everybody’s known for a few months, and just to be here with the Celtic strip on again just feels amazing," said the defender.

"I spoke with the manager, and obviously, I had worked with him before, and I’ve always kept in touch with him. He’s one of the best, so I’m so lucky and grateful that he’s given me the chance to come back again.

"When you move away from home, you grow up, you learn different things. I was in Spain for a year, learning a different language and playing in a different league, so I’m definitely a different person. Player-wise, it’s the same as I always say – I’ll try and work my hardest, I’ll do my best for the club, and that’s all I can do.

"My ambition is just for Celtic to be as successful as possible, retain our place at the top and continue to win trophies and do well for Celtic."
