Celtic will hold signing talks with Dylan Reid on Monday.
The Hoops have already agreed a £125,000 fee for the St Mirren youngster. The Buddies turned down a rival offer from Rangers last week. The Scotland under-17 cap has now been given permission to speak to Celtic. Ange Postecoglou confirmed Celtic’s interest at the weekend but admitted he was very much an option for their B team.
Reid will meet with B team coaches Stephen McManus and Darren O’Dea before he makes a decision on his future. Postecoglou is also likely to be involved, via Zoom, from the Hoops’ base in Austria. The teenager has already attracted interest from Benfica in the past and it remains to be seen if this Celtic offer sparks rival bids. He is highly thought of at St Mirren and made his first-team debut when he was just 16. Postecoglou’s first-team recruitment staff are also actively working on deals. The Australian has already said he wants at least two new additions.
