A key area in the Celtic squad Brendan Rodgers wants to strengthen this summer is centre-back.
Cameron Carter-Vickers is tied down to a long-term deal but question marks have been raised over the credentials of Liam Scales.
The Irishman was dependable last term, but many fans think he can be improved upon. Supporters want to see someone drafted in who can challenge Scales for a first-choice central defensive spot in the team.
Dara O’Shea has been linked but amid English Premier League and Serie A interest, a deal is proving difficult to do.
Another name that has been previously mentioned is Scott McKenna. The Scotland international refused to rule out a move to Parkhead in June but he now appears on his way to Hull.
According to a report from Hull Live, the Tigers have held positive talks with the 27-year-old, and are hopeful a deal can be concluded amid initial discussions.
A free agent who would count towards their homegrown quota for Europe, Celtic signing McKenna makes sense.
He looks to be going elsewhere, though, raising question marks over whether Rodgers and Co were concretely interested.
