REPORTS down south claim Celtic have been keeping an eye of Craig Dawson’s situation after the defender handed in a transfer request at the start of July.

The 28-year-old can play right back as well as centre back and is looking for a new challenge after WBA were relegated at the end of last season.

Craig has spent 8 years at the Hawthorns but is now training away from the first team due to his transfer request.

Celtic are actively in the market for a defender and one who can cover both centre and right back would be a coveted skill.

The Englishman still has two years left on his deal and would command a transfer fee.

It’s thought that Leicester City are also interested in the defender.
