Celtic-linked free agent Robbie Brady is set for a surprise move to Turkish side Gaziantep, Lancashire Live report.
The Lowdown: Celtic rumours
Brady was linked with a move to Parkhead back in February when Neil Lennon was still in charge of Celtic.
Rumours of the Republic of Ireland international moving to Scotland re-emerged at the end of May after he left Burnley.
Ange Postecoglou was quizzed specifically on bringing Brady to the club, but as we know, the left-midfielder wasn’t one of 12 Celtic signings.
The Latest: Turkey move
Lancashire Live shared a story on Brady on Wednesday, claiming the winger is close to a move to Gaziantep.
The Super Lig side boasts a number of international footballers in their squad, and it is believed Brady would be viewed as a marquee signing, should a move go through.
The Verdict: Not a major blow for Celtic
Celtic brought in plenty of attacking talent in Kyogo Furuhashi, Liel Abada, Filipe Jota and Georgios Giakoumakis, so missing out on Brady shouldn’t be an issue.
He could’ve brought plenty of experience to the Hoops, however, Postecoglou did just that with Joe Hart and James McCarthy joining.
The 35-goal free agent now looks as if he is heading to Turkey, though, and it's not as if Celtic haven't had the chance to act, so we suspect Dominic McKay and Postecoglou decided the aforementioned names are better options.
