Celtic have moved Liverpool defender Owen Beck down their shortlist of targets amid Birmingham City making a play for him, according to Football Scotland.
Beck shone in Scottish football while on loan at Dundee from Liverpool last term and Celtic looked at snapping him up.
The left-back will be looking to impress new Liverpool boss Arne Slot over the course of pre-season, but League One side Birmingham have made an approach for him.
It looks unlikely that Birmingham will face competition from Celtic, even though the Bhoys do want to sign a left-back.
Beck, it is suggested, has slipped down Celtic’s list of targets.
Who the Scottish champions have ahead of Beck in terms of left-back targets remains to be seen.
Beck though could soon be unavailable for Celtic if Birmingham succeed with their approach.
Blues have been handed a big budget by their owners for the upcoming season and are determined to make their stay in League One as brief as possible.
