‘Get it done early’: Some Celtic fans ecstatic after hearing who Postecoglou reportedly wants to buy

Celtic fans have been discussing the report linking the Hoops with Kevin Nisbet.

New Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou sealed his first signing on Thursday, bringing Osaze Urhoghide to Parkhead.

Now, the Bhoys are looking for more new recruits ahead of their Champions League qualifiers.

The high-flying Hibernian striker scored 18 goals and claimed eight assists in all competitions last season.

Celtic are apparently begun trying to establish how much it would cost to bring the 24-year-old to Parkhead.

Hibs are reportedly holding out for £4million and, though they have no need to sell, are open to discussions.

Somewhat unexpectedly, Celtic extended Leigh Griffiths’ contract on Thursday.

However, some Hoops fans think Postecoglou could look to use Griffiths as a makeweight in a deal involving Nisbet.

As well as Celtic, other clubs are apparently eyeing Nisbet including Birmingham, Nottingham Forest, Swansea, Brentford and Krasnodar.

Nisbet is set to return to pre-season training this weekend after featuring for Scotland at Euro 2020.
