Dylan Reid has opened up on his talks with Ange Postecoglou and the main factor behind deciding against a move to Celtic.
The former St Mirren kid has now joined English Premier League outfit Crystal Palace as he makes a life-changing move south of the border. He will initially play with the Under-18s as he adjusts to his new surroundings before stepping up to the Under-21's next summer. He will be going out all to impress new boss Patrick Vieira but things could have worked out much differently for the youngster.
The Buddies had accepted an offer from Celtic but he turned down the move while he also had trails with Portuguese outfit Benfica and German giants Bayern Munich. The talk over a potential move to Parkhead rumbled on for months but in the end after talking to the Scottish champions he felt that playing in the 'B' side in the Lowland League wasn't the best step for his career at that stage.
