Celtic fans are desperate to see Celtic’s search for a right back come to a successful conclusion.
Anthony Ralston has been putting in some great performances as of late and is becoming a contender for a Celtic regular. However, even if Ralston excels – if the academy player comes down with an injury – Celtic would be in all sorts of trouble.
The club’s search for a right back has gone global.we have been linked with talents from different leagues even going as far as South America.
Yan Couto is a 19-year-old Brazilian currently under contract at Manchester City. The defender was at Celtic Park on Thursday night to take in the game with his representatives.
𝙀𝙓𝘾𝙇𝙐𝙎𝙄𝙑𝙊: Yan Couto confirmou que foi ao jogo do Celtic na fase eliminatória da Liga Europa, mas que isso não significa que ele sairá do #ManCity para o clube escocês. Ele quer ficar no #City, mas entende que é melhor sair por empréstimo, já que se ficar, não irá jogar.

However, no deal has been reported as of yet and according to the Portuguese language Man City Xtra account – the player admitted he was at the game but it didn’t mean he was 100% Celtic bound.
There has been conflicting reports over other right backs to this point. If Yan does come in, it will likely be on loan.
