Celtic midfielder Scott Robertson is reportedly closing in on a move to English League One side Fleetwood Town.
A move down south to join the Cods this month would also see the Bhoys academy graduate link up with former club captain and legend Scott Brown.
Over the last few years, Robertson has been attempting to break into the Celtic first team after making his debut under Neil Lennon in 2019.
The 21-year-old has had several spells on loan over the past two seasons in an attempt to earn regular first-team minutes before returning to Parkhead.
The academy youngster has featured for clubs such as Gillingham, Doncaster Rovers, and most recently, Crewe Alexandra, impressing during his time in the English third tier.
During this campaign, Robertson remained at the club and was regularly spotted training under Ange Postecoglou and his coaching staff.
He even made a handful of appearances on the bench in the two UEFA Champions League group-stage matches against RB Leipzig.
However, he unfortunately, hasn’t been able to build upon his impressive debut display in the 2019/20 season against Cluj.
And with his contract set to come to an end at Celtic Park in the summer, speculation has suggested that Robertson could depart in the January transfer window.
Scott Robertson closes in on Celtic reunion with Scott Brown at Fleetwood.
Reports last month indicated that one of the interested clubs looking at Scott Robertson in the winter transfer window was Fleetwood Town, managed by club legend Scott Brown.
According to the Daily Record, Robertson is now closing in on a reunion with the ex-Celtic captain after completing a medical south of the border yesterday.
Lack of game time has been a frustration for the midfielder as he looks to continue his development in the game, and he faced an extremely tough task of breaking into the Hoops side.
On paper, it looks like a fantastic move for the Scotsman, who will get to work under one of Celtic’s best midfielders in the club’s modern history.
Robertson also already has a relationship with his new manager, having regularly trained with the Fleetwood boss at Lennoxtown.
It is unfortunate that the youngster couldn’t kick on at Parkhead. However, he is making the right move to go out there and get first-team minutes at Fleetwood.
I am sure plenty of Celtic supporters will wish Robertson all the best and be keeping a close eye on how gets on whilst working under our old skipper.
In other news, Josip Juranovic continues to repay Ange Postecoglou’s Celtic confidence despite speculation.
