Celtic’s last-minute efforts to secure a left-back before the transfer window closes have seen a wide array of potential targets considered, with Harrison Burrows briefly emerging as an option.

Football Scotland reported that Celtic had made an initial approach for the 22-year-old earlier in the window but ultimately did not pursue the interest further.

With the clock ticking down to just over two hours left in the transfer window, Celtic’s quest to find a suitable candidate for the left-back position appears increasingly urgent.

Brendan Rodgers is reportedly still hopeful to bolster his left-sided defensive options despite the dwindling time frame.

The need for a new left-back has been accentuated by Greg Taylor’s injury, leaving a gap in the squad. Alexandro Bernabei, who has been filling in, has yet to convince both fans and the club of his suitability for the role, sparking debates among supporters about the team’s defensive strength.
