Celtic are reportedly close to signing PSV Eindhoven's Joel van den Berg, with a delegation in the Netherlands discussing the transfer of the 19-year-old midfielder, who is open to a move after limited first-team opportunities. PSV appear poised to sell van den Berg following his removal from the Jong PSV side for a match against RKC Waalwijk. Meanwhile, Celtic and Rangers appear to have missed out on other targets, including Falkirk's Brad Spencer, as Dundee United consider another bid for the player.

Hajduk Split head coach Gonzalez Garcia confirmed that Celtic target Niko Sigur has played his last game for the club, though the 22-year-old faces interest from Genk and Toulouse. Partizan Belgrade president Rasim Ljajic stated they rejected a Celtic bid for Ognjen Ugresic due to a prior agreement with PAOK to sell the 20-year-old for £400,000 less than Celtic's offer. Celtic are also set to miss out on Ermin Mahmic, who has agreed a £4.3m transfer to newly promoted Super Lig club Corum, according to Turkish outlet Sport Klub.
