Haissem Hassan’s Celtic move is nearing completion after the winger passed his medical in London, while Mika Baur has been permitted to travel to Glasgow after Celtic agreed a deal with Paderborn. The player was not named in the report, but the move would address a clear weakness in the squad and give Celtic the chance to manage Tierney properly around the biggest fixtures. There is nothing in McGowan’s report identifying Taylor as the player Celtic are closing in on, but a return has not been totally ruled out.
