Ross County have lined up a deal for Ross Doohan – as soon as Celtic can land another keeper.
The Scotland Under-21 cap is set to join the Staggies on loan.
A deal has been agreed in principle between the two clubs and should be rubber-stamped as soon as the Premiership champions can bring in another experienced shot-stopper.
Celtic only have Scott Bain, Connor Hazard and Doohan so they will only let the latter go when they are able to bring another
experienced goalie in.
Ross County boss Stuart Kettlewell confirmed earlier this week that he was looking to bring in another keeper to fight it out with Ross Laidlaw, with youngster Ross Munro out injured.
The County manager is doing a major rebuild of his defence as they had the worst goals-against column in the top flight last season.
Kettlewell said: “It is no secret, I am not throwing anyone under the bus but we conceded the most goals in the Premiership last season.”
