Celtic have been scouting on the continent for some time as they look to uncover hidden gems.

Brendan Rodgers' recruitment team have also been keeping their eyes firmly on the English market as they seek the next Matt O'Riley who's likely to cost buttons in contrast to the mega money they'll soon sell him on for. It's been a tried and tested philosophy in the market for the Hoops but it has prevented them from looking closer to home to find their new signings.

Not according to Sky Sports this morning, who claim Dundee's Luke McCowan has been being "tracked" by the Scottish champions in recent times. Central midfield is a position they would like to strengthen should Paulo Bernardo not be brought in permanently.

The Portuguese, as we exclusively told you, had a £6million release clause but Celts continue to negotiate that price down with parent club Benfica.

Peter Vindahl Jensen continues to be the number one target for the goalkeeper position but former target Horatiu Moldovan has revealed he wants out of Atletico Madrid after just six months.

Speaking on Atleti, O'Riley continues to be monitored by the Spanish giants and he's reportedly on a three-man shortlist including Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Mats Wieffer. The Hoops would want a record fee to allow any exit.

Another who could leave is Oh Hyeon-gyu who dropped a cryptic hint on social media ahead of a proposed £4million switch to Genk in Belgium.

Training alone during his time off, the Korean striker wrote: "Next one..." with the implication being his next club.

Stephen Welsh continues to earn admirers in the MLS.
