# Celtic: Ciaran Dickson pictured with Hoops shirt

**Celtic look set to land a former player from their crosstown rivals in Ciaran Dickson after images of the midfielder holding up a Hoops shirt emerged, as reported by [Glasgow Live](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ciaran-dickson-leaked-celtic-signing-21439429).**

### The Lowdown: Deadline day business

Dominic McKay has already been extremely busy in his first summer as CEO, bringing in [nine](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/transfers/verein/371) new players for Ange Postecoglou.

That looks to increase to 11 on deadline day, with [striker Georgios Giakoumakis and winger Filipe Jota](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/celtic-transfer-news-bulletin-giakoumakis-24871774) set to arrive at Parkhead.

However, it seems as if another player could well arrive in Glasgow in Dickson, who left fierce crosstown rivals Rangers this summer.

### The Latest: Dickson’s Celtic image

As reported by [Glasgow Live](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ciaran-dickson-leaked-celtic-signing-21439429), the 19-year-old has been pictured at Celtic Park holding up a Hoops shirt with his name and number 51 on the back in an apparent signing image.

Dickson was [released](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ciaran-dickson-leaked-celtic-signing-21439429) by the Gers in the summer after penning a three-year deal in January and now looks set to remain in Glasgow with a prospective move to Celtic.

### The Verdict: Smart

Celtic appear to be building for the future, with seven of the club’s nine additions this summer [26 years of age or younger](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/transfers/verein/371). With that in mind, adding Dickson – who Steven Gerrard described as [‘terrific’](https://www.rangersnews.uk/news/rangers-boss-raves-about-teen-duo-after-gers-debuts-in-cup-rout/) – could be a smart move in the long run.

The teenager is a [free agent](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ciaran-dickson/profil/spieler/567123) and can play as a [central, attacking or right midfielder](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ciaran-dickson/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/567123), so his versatility could come in handy further down the line. It would also be immensely satisfying to snap up a player who had previously looked like being a hot prospect for their fiercest rivals.
