Reports tonight claim Celtic are fuming over another one of their players being poached by Bayern Munich and the man behind it being a former employee of the club.

David Moss was Celtic’s chief talent scout who would report directly to John Park while they were both at the club. Since leaving Celtic, the scout has turned agent and talent finder for some heavy hitters in Europe.

Moss was said to be behind the deal to take Liam Morrison from Celtic to Bayern Munich last summer and now it appears as if he has made his next move.

Barry Hepburn looks likely to sign for the German giants and joining Liam with the Bundesliga side.

Football Insider claim the club are furious over another deal being done behind Celtic’s back and Moss is apparently the man pulling the strings,.

The site writes: A Celtic source has told Football Insider that the club hierarchy are in no doubt that Moss is once again the mastermind of another rising-star departure.

Hepburn is currently on a youth registration at his boyhood club after progressing through the ranks.

Celtic had hoped to tie him to a professional contract as soon as he turned 16, which was early last month.

But plans for him to head to Germany became clear when the youngster knocked back the offer.

Moss has once again used his contacts on the Continent to broker the transfer of a Scotland youth international for whom the Hoops have high hopes can make it at first-team level.

It’s worrying Celtic appear to be losing young top talent before they get the chance to sign them on a professional deal. Celtic can’t compete with the big boys when it comes to transfer fees, so they must make their own stars too. It’s going to be harder going forward if they’re top talent is being cherry picked.
