Celtic are hoping to sign Manny Perez on January 1.

The right-back was recently over on trial at Lennoxtown and according to the Daily Record will sign for the hoops provided he gains a work permit.

Perez is currently playing for North Carolina State University and is a youth internationalist for the USA.

Celtic have been in the market for a right-back since the summer with Mikael Lustig and Cristian Gamboa both in the final year of their contracts.

Last night Anthony Ralston was given his first competitive game of the season and responded with a composed performance that included the opening goal in the 3-0 win over Motherwell.

One of the biggest problems Celtic face with ‘project’ signings is giving them meaningful game time with the Reserve League consisting of just 17 matches.

With the SFA Youth Cup now played for by u-18 teams game time is at a premium with Celtic having just 10 Reserve League matches to play in the new year.
