After it being reported as a done deal by in the know journalist Scott Burns on Monday afternoon.

Mark Hendry of Football Scotland is now claiming there’s been a very late breakdown in talks in Celtic’s move for Riley McGree.

It’s claimed the player could now be heading to Middlesbrough instead.

The report claims Celtic could come back for the table very late offer.

RecordSport wrote yesterday:

Celtic have clinched the signing of Australian international Riley McGree.

This transfer window has been going too smoothly to this point. There was always going to be shaky moments and perhaps Ange missing out on some of his targets.

It would be a shame to see Celtic miss out on Riley because he does look like a talented player. You have to imagine the Hoops will have backups and other targets they’re looking at.

We will keep an eye on things over the next 24 hours.

Football Scotland and RecordSport work under the same company although the journalists are separate on both sites.

It’ll be interesting to find who’s been talking to whom when it comes to this transfer.

Burns who usually has the scoop was so definite over the deal being done.
