ROBBIE DEAS has decided to leave Celtic in the hunt of first team football. The 20-year-old had been at Celtic for ten years but after two loan spells to Cowdenbeath and Alloa has opted to move on in the hunt for regular first team football.
Caley Thistle confirmed that they have signed the central defender on a three year deal. The Championship side would offer Deas the opportunity to play first team football and it is likely that the club have a sell-on clause as they seem to have inserted previously when letting youngsters leave.
Deas was linked with a move to Dunfermline and Raith Rovers but opted for the Championship side that finished second last year. Deas scored a winner in the 2019 Glasgow Cup Final versus Rangers.
Another Celtic youngster that is tipped to leave the club is 16-year-old Barry Hepburn, who is expected to sign for Bayern Munich. The promising winger is set to join Liam Morrison with the Bundesliga Champions as he former Celtic recruitment chief David Moss appears to manufacturing moves for Celtic’s brightest young talents.
