Few people on twitter linking us with the Celtic right back, also found this; Celtic were on Wednesday night closing in on a deal for Manchester United teenager Saidy Janko. The Switzerland Under 19 international is poised to become Ronny Deila's second capture of the transfer window following the arrival of Manchester City defender Derdryck Boyata. Primarily a right back Janko can also play a right-sided attacking role. please log in to view this image +3 please log in to view this image +3 Celtic are closing in on the signing of Manchester United's teenage defender Saidy Janko A former FC Zurich starlet, Janko's arrival on a permanent deal comes after reports linked Welsh right back Adam Matthews with a £1.5million move to Queens Park Rangers. Janko spent the second half of last season under former Celtic boss Neil Lennon at Bolton where he made 10 first team appearances. The Swiss prospect joined United in September 2013 in a £700,000 deal but saw his first team opportunities at Old Trafford limited despite United U21 boss Warren Joyce saying: 'He's certainly a powerful boy. There are a lot of things that he has got to improve on but he is strong, quick and can go past people.'

150+ games for Celtic, including 30 in Europe, so obviously no mug - and he's a defender! Also a dozen caps for Wales
Dream signing if it comes off. For what it's worth I always sign him in football games, be that FIFA or Football manager, great potential. Pretty much got it all, surprised Celtic are willing to let him go.
So Celtic have signed Janko - here's hoping we can get Matthews, would be a good signing. Have spoken to a few Celtic fans, who rate him highly
Just saw this on the bbc website, too bad sounded like good player at reasonable price. Celtic have accepted a bid of around £2m from Sunderland for defender Adam Matthews. The 23-year-old Wales international could complete a switch to the Stadium of Light on Friday if he agrees personal terms. Celtic agreed to let him go after securing the services of fellow right-back Saidy Janko from Manchester Utd. Matthews joined Celtic from Cardiff City in 2011 and has made 148 appearances for the Glasgow club. He played 42 times as Ronny Deila's side retained the Scottish Premiership title last season. Matthews, who has 12 caps for his country, has also played on the right of midfield at times for Celtic.
