Dundee are interested in signing 19-year-old Celtic right-back Colby Donovan on loan after a previous attempt to secure him in the summer was unsuccessful. The planned summer move was halted after an injury to Celtic's first-choice Alistair Johnston, which resulted in Celtic deciding against loaning Donovan out. Dundee's interest in the Scotland Under-21s player remains, and they are considering another move for him.
However, any potential transfer will depend on the plans of returned manager Martin O'Neill, under whom Donovan had previously featured significantly. The situation is also influenced by whether Johnston is anticipated to be unavailable for a longer duration and the fact that Celtic have since signed Julian Araujo and also have Anthony Ralston as an option. In the 2025/2026 Scottish Premiership season, Donovan has made 9 appearances, providing 2 assists. His current market value is €1.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
