Celtic youngster Barry Hepburn expected to join Bayern Munich today

Celtic youngster Barry Hepburn is believed to be on the verge of joining Bayern Munich.

The Bundesliga giants are tipped to sign two young Scottish stars, with Hearts defender Aaron Hickey also believed to be on his way to the Allianz Arena.

16-year-old winger Hepburn has played for Celtic's under-18s and has reportedly been interesting Bayern for months.

German website Bild reports that he is expected to fly out and join the German champions today (Thursday August 8).

They also claim that Hickey is set to be shown around the Allianz Arena with a view to a €1.7m (£1.5m) move, despite interest from the likes of Celtic, Sheffield Wednesday and Bologna.

Neil Lennon's side are back in action on Sunday when they take on Kilmarnock at Rugby Park in the Premiership.

Celtic, meanwhile, are reported to be in contract talks with veteran striker Steven Fletcher.

The 33-year-old is without a club after leaving Sheffield Wednesday in June, and Record Sport report that the Scottish champions have offered him a one-year deal.

It's believed that the Scotland star is hoping for a longer offer, but his former Hibs team-mate Tam McManus claimed on Twitter that Fletcher is "edging towards a deal at Celtic".
