# Celtic: Mark Hendry says late Dylan Reid deal could go through

**[Celtic](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/) could still secure the signing of exciting St Mirren youngster Dylan Reid this week, according to a fresh claim from reliable journalist Mark Hendry.**

### The Lowdown: Celtic keen on Reid signing

Ange Postecoglou has enjoyed a productive summer in the transfer market, strengthening his squad ahead of what will be a relentless 2022/23 campaign.

One player who has been [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/celtic-hoops-have-had-conversations-with-dylan-reid/) with a move to Celtic but hasn’t yet arrived is Reid, who has caught the eye after bursting onto the scene at St Mirren.

The 17-year-old midfielder has been [described](https://www.thenational.scot/sport/20296938.dylan-reid-hailed-turning-celtic-deal-youngster-tipped-st-mirren-captaincy/) as a ‘special’ player by his former manager Tony Fitzpatrick and he could have a big future in the game.

### The Latest: New update emerges

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/mhendry92/status/1564289250081869829?s=20&t=mq3tgT6cugK38NonqG1ixw) on Monday, [*Football Scotland*](https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/dylan-reids-celtic-transfer-back-24881536)‘s Hendry claimed that Reid could still join Celtic before the end of the transfer window this week.

Replying to a previous tweet in which he said the deal is ‘back ON’, the reporter shared:

> “My understanding is the only sticking point could be clubs agreeing on fee. Market has changed since last time they spoke.”

### The Verdict: One for the future

This is an exciting update from a Hoops perspective, not necessarily in terms of the squad being immediately improved greatly, but from a long-term point of view.

It is always vital to have young homegrown talent in Celtic’s ranks – especially having lost players like Ben Doak to the Premier League – and Reid is arguably one of the most gifted Scottish players of the next generation, having already made [six appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dylan-reid/alletore/spieler/719683) for St Mirren.

He could come in and learn from the more experienced heads around him, gradually maturing into the top-level footballer many expect him to eventually be.
