67 Hail Hail understands that Celtic aren’t likely to push for Kilmarnock’s David Watson during the January transfer window.
The upcoming winter transfer window is going to be very important for Celtic, given the noise around the club in the summer and during these last few months.
There is a lot of pressure on the Celtic board, and the supporters aren’t stopping with their protests, as a new manager is incoming pretty soon. It is expected to be Columbus Crew boss Wilfried Nancy.
Watson has appeared on Celtic’s transfer radar, with the rising Killie star’s contract expiring next summer.

This January provides Celtic with an ample chance to get Watson in on a pre-contract agreement.
But GRV’s Chief Football Correspondent, Graeme Bailey, has told 67 Hail Hail it’s ‘not definite’ the champions of Scotland will go down that road.
There is ‘real competition’ from Premiership leaders Hearts in Watson’s signature, with the 20-year-old previously working with Jambos boss Derek McInnes at Rugby Park.
