Dundee United are closing in on the signing of young Celtic full-back Sam Wardrop, Courier Sport understands.
The 20-year-old right-back has been capped four times at youth level for Scotland and spent last season on loan at Dumbarton.
He was part of a Sons team that drew 1-1 at Tannadice in September.
Wardrop featured in 27 games for Stephen Aitken’s side before an ankle injury ended his campaign in March.
Ironically, the skipper of the Celtic under-20 team would replace another Parkhead youngster, Anthony Ralston, who spent the second half of last season on loan with United.
