The ‘yet’ leading us all to believe the transfer could be close. The defender looks like he could be coming in to either play understudy to Kieran Tierney or be a direct replacement if Celtic sell their star player this summer.

Bolingoli-Mbombo, 24, has previously played for Club Brugge before making the Move to a Rapid in 2017.

Will he become Celtic’s third signing of the summer after Christopher Jullien and Luca Connell.
