Celtic hoping to tie up deal for Ghana winger

Celtic have a “50-50” chance of signing Ghana winger Mubarak Wakaso in time for the first leg of their Champions League play-off against Maribor in Slovenia tomorrow night, according to assistant manager John Collins.

The Ruban Kazan player will move to Parkhead subject to a medical and the Scottish champions are hoping the loan deal is completed before 11pm on Tuesday night so that he can be registered for the match.
