CELTIC have been linked with another right back and according to Croatian journalist Ižak Ante Sućić.
It’s being claimed Josip Juranovic could be heading to Celtic after Legia Warsaw were knocked out of the Champions League qualifiers on Tuesday evening.
The Croatian defender could finally be the man to fill Celtic’s right back position currently occupied by Anthony Ralston.
Croatian football expert Richard Wilson vouched for the reliability of Izak’s information when it came to transfers on social media.
💥BOOOM!💥
Josip Juranovic is 'one step away' from joining @CelticFC. After loss against @gnkdinamo in @ChampionsLeague qualifications, @LegiaWarszawa finally decided to sell one of their best players. Juranovic played 10 games for @HNS_CFF.

Josip, 25, would fit the bill in terms of bringing in an experienced player who still has his best years ahead of him. He played twice for Croatia at the Euros against Scotland and Spain.
Celtic have been scouring Europe and beyond for a right back this month and have hit a brick wall on many potential deals.
If this one gets over the line for the price mentioned, it would be a good deal for all.
Right now, Izak is the only journalist claiming this report but if he has his ear to the ground when it comes to Croatian talent – he will be credited with the scoop if it pays off.
