Alan Nixon reported via his Patreon that Celtic failed in a late deadline day attempt to sign Ryoya Morishita. Blackburn rejected offers for Morishita as they were unable to sell the player so late in the window at the prices under discussion. Celtic has not been deterred by this, and funds are still available for a player in that position. Martin O’Neill could revisit the move in January, at which time Blackburn could receive a multi-million fee from Celtic for the player.
