Scottish Premiership side 'in talks' with Celtic over late Stephen Welsh move

Motherwell are reportedly in talks to sign Celtic defender Stephen Welsh

The centre-back has yet to feature for the Parkhead club in the new campaign. 

And he could now be on the move, with Motherwell hoping to seal a season-long loan deal before tonight's 11pm transfer deadline, according to RecordSport

It is said that Welsh is keen on the switch because he wants more game time.

The 25-year-old has made 68 senior Celtic appearances since emerging from the club's academy during the 2020/21 season. 

He has two years left on his current deal at Parkhead. 

Welsh might not be the only player to depart Celtic today, with a £3million deal for Yang Hyun-jun to join Birmingham City from the Scottish Premiership champions reportedly close to being agreed. 

Adam Idah could also join Swansea City in a £7million switch, with the striker said to have completed a medical. The Welsh side are just waiting on Celtic to rubber-stamp the move. 

It remains to be seen what lies in store for the Bhoys regarding incomings. 

Kasper Dolberg is believed to favour a return to Ajax over a move to Scotland; meanwhile, wingers Sebastian Tounekti and Jesurun Rak-Sakyi have both been linked, along with Strasbourg striker Sekou Mara.
