Celtic prospect eyed up by Premiership team

According to Gavin Berry at the Daily Record, 19-year-old Colby Donovan is being eyed up by Premiership strugglers Dundee, who were close to securing the defender’s signature in the summer.

After the long-term injury of Alistair Johnston, the signing was vetoed, and Donovan has since gained 17 appearances, five of which came in the Europa League. It remains to be seen whether O’Neill will elect to use Donovan or stick with Ralston in the position.

Donovan is the only Scottish U21 player to receive minutes at Celtic so far this season, but with them drying up in recent weeks, a loan move to secure guaranteed minutes should not be sniffed at.
