Jamie McCart is in talks to join Inverness Caley Thistlke on loan.
The 19-year-old joined Brendan Rodgers side on the pre-season trip to Slovenia and made his top team debut as a substitute in the Betfred Cup win over Motherwell.
With fierce competition for places in central defence Celtic have been looking for a club that can give the defender top team experience.
Richie Foran has been keen on the defender for a while with Brendan Rodgers giving the deal his approval.
Caley Thistle are currently sitting at the bottom of the SPFL table but are only six points behind sixth placed Partick Thistle.
Foran has been given funding to bring in new faces with former striker Billy McKay returning from Wigan on loan.
McCart could go straight into the Caley Thistle side for tonight’s six pointer away to Hamilton Accies but won’t be available for the Scottish Cup tie against Celtic on February 11.
