Celtic’s hopes of signing Owen Beck have been dealt a blow after the full-back made a seven minute cameo for Liverpool. After 83 minutes, Jurgen Klopp decided to bring the player on.
The Scottish Champions were linked with Beck and rumours were circulating this morning (via Record Sport) that a permanent bid was going to be made for the promising Welshman. However, the decision to sub him on in the closing stages of a 4-0 win away to Bournemouth.
Due to FIFA rules, Beck cannot feature for a third club this season – having already appeared for Dundee. Now, his options appear to be to remain at Liverpool, who will welcome back Scotland skipper Andy Robertson shortly.
The player has two and a half years left on his deal at Anfield and will likely fancy a crack at first team football, having impressed at Dens Park. Celtic could revisit in the summer but with Brendan Rodgers keen to strengthen his team this month, he might see his window to Celtic close.
Celtic are keen on bringing in a striker and a left back having brought in Nicolas Kuhn from Rapid Vienna.
