Celtic are closing in on signing Ryan Christie from Inverness with the midfielder only needing to pass a medical to seal the deal.
The Bhoys were given permission by Inverness to hold talks with the Scotland Under-21 midfielder yesterday and are now speeding ahead with the swoop.
According to BBC Scotland, a deal for Christie is agreed and the midfielder will sign a four-year contract with Ronny Deila's men.
Christie must just pass a medical with the Bhoys for the deal to come into effect.
Celtic will then loan Christie back to Inverness until the end of the season, however they will have the right to recall the midfielder to Paradise in the winter transfer window.
