Owen Beck is poised to rejoin the Dundee for the latter half of the season.
The young left-back, initially recalled by Liverpool in early January, is now heading back to Dens Park, reports the BBC’s Jane Lewis.
Liverpool’s decision to recall Beck earlier this year was driven by a defensive shortage, particularly in the full-back positions. However, the situation at Anfield has evolved since then.
Andy Robertson has made a successful return from a dislocated shoulder, which had kept him out of action for a considerable period. Additionally, Kostas Tsimikas is also close to returning to full fitness. These developments have made it feasible for Beck to continue gaining first-team experience elsewhere.
Celtic had shown interest in acquiring Beck, either on a permanent basis or on loan, for the second half of the season. However, a potential move to Celtic was hindered by FIFA regulations, which prevent a player from representing more than two clubs in a single season. Since Beck had already played for Liverpool, this rule effectively ruled out a move to Celtic.
