Jack Aitchison is expected to join a Championship club on loan before the transfer window closes on Monday.

The striker had loan spells at Dumbarton and Alloa last season but will now get the chance to go out on loan to a full-time club.

Video Celts understands that a number of Championship clubs have enquired about Aitchison who hit the headlines in May 2016 when he scored with his first touch as a player to become Celtic’s youngest ever scored three months after his 16th birthday.

With no formal Reserve League this season Celtic have sent a number of players out on loan with Stephen Welsh (Morton, Ross Doohan (Ayr United) and Robbie Deas ( Alloa) all playing in the Championship while Daniel Church is a division below at East Fife.

All five of those players have been regular youth team internationalists but beyond u-18 level there is no platform for them to develop into first team players.
