Former Celtic star Nir Bitton has confessed he has told Oscar Gloukh to stick with Maccabi Tel Aviv amid interest from Parkhead.
Ange Postecoglou has included the prospect on a list of January transfer targets in case any of Celtic stars are snared from the Scottish Premiership champions this winter after the World Cup, with several players catching the eye during the Champions League. Josip Juranovic, Aaron Mooy, Daizen Maeda and Cameron Carter-Vickers all have the chance to impress at the tournament having been called up for their national sides to compete in Qatar.
With Gloukh on a potential Celtic wishlist he has continued to impress domestically having netted four goals so far this season during Tel Aviv's title fight with Maccabi Haifa, and has earned his first senior international call-up for Israel's double header with Zambia and Cyprus this week. Despite his links with Celtic, Bitton admits his advice to Gloukh has been to see out the campaign with his current side before considering a move to Europe.
