Celtic agree deal with Dundee for Wardrop

Celtic confirm they have agreed a deal with Dundee United for Sam Wardrop. The 20-year-old has signed a two-year contract at Tannadice Park and will be looking to help Csaba Laszlo’s side earn promotion back to the Scottish Premiership.

Wardrop rose through the youth ranks at Celtic but failed to make a first-team appearance. The Scotland u19 international was far down the pecking order, with Mikael Lustig, Cristian Gamboa and Anthony Ralston preferred by manager Brendan Rodgers.

It led to Wardrop spending last season out on loan at Dumbarton, making 27 appearances under Stevie Aitken, and it was clear he had no future at Celtic Park upon his return this summer.
