It’s being reported on Monday evening Celtic are locked in talks with Legia Warsaw over a potential deal for their Croatian right back Josip Juranovic.

The defender has been on Celtic’s radar this summer, but the Hoops have been exploring all their options when it comes to their problematic right back area.

Ange Postecoglou knows the hoops are light on numbers at the back and is desperate to see the club bring in reinforcements before the window closes.

Sky Sports journalist Lyall Thomas is reporting the Parkhead side are growing confident of a deal for the Euro 2020 defender.

Anthony Ralston has been playing the position so far this season and he has shut up a lot of people who ridiculed the mention of his name in the starting XI. The defender has been playing out his skin but there’s still a recognition he needs to be challenged and Celtic need someone more dynamic.

Right now, Celtic are light on numbers heading into the first Glasgow Derby of the season. Getting players in this week would give them a chance to bed in before the end of the month.

The defender is rated at around £2.25m by Transfermarkt and that price plus add-ons could be enough for Celtic to get their man.
