According to Goal, Celtic are tracking Hibernian starlet Josh Doig ahead of a potential transfer move.

What's the story?

The 18-year-old has established himself as a key part of Jack Ross' squad this season, making 16 appearances in the Scottish Premiership alone.

And now, Goal claim that along with Celtic, the likes of Manchester City and Leeds United are also interested in the left-back, and that he would command a fee of around £1m.

The report adds that despite City's interest, the likes of Celtic and Leeds could prove to be more attractive propositions given they could give him a clearer route into the first-team.

Could be Celtic's Tierney successor

Ever since Kieran Tierney left Celtic to move south of the border to join Arsenal in the Premier League back in the summer of 2019, the Hoops haven't quite settled on a player to fill his shoes.

This season, loanee Diego Laxalt has stepped into the mix, whilst Greg Taylor came into the side for the 2-2 draw against Livingston in the Scottish Premiership last weekend.

But in the 18-year-old Doig, Nick Hammond could well land the Hoops a long-term successor to Tierney. He's already racking up considerable experience by starting for Hibs week-in and week-out - he's made 15 starts in the league this campaign.

Goal claims that "scouts have noted Doig's attacking output as a huge part of his game, with his crossing ability and tireless running two of his key attributes",  something Tierney really made a name for himself with.

However, he did have a difficult day against Celtic earlier in the season.

Coming up against another young full-back in Jeremie Frimpong, Doig struggled to hold his own, so much so that he was hauled off at half-time in Hibs' 3-0 defeat to the Hoops.

Speaking after the game, Ross admitted: "Look, it was difficult for him today. He was up against a difficult opponent who has been lauded in recent weeks for being one of their stronger players. He competed well in the first-half.

"When you are that quick and can be that quick from a standing start it is tough to play against. It is another learning experience for Josh. I had a good chat with him at half-time and I will do so again in the coming days. He has been brilliant this season for a young man who has just turned 18. He will be fine and will play a big part for us moving forward."

One bad performance doesn't make a player, certainly not someone who is just a teenager. Given his age, and the fact he's been lauded for his crossing shows that he's got potential, and could develop into Celtic's heir to Tierney.

Meanwhile, Celtic could clinch a bargain in this League One gem...
