Celtic keen on signing Birger Meling

Celtic are interested in signing the Rosenborg defender Birger Meling.

According to former Norway footballer Jesper Mathisen, the Hoops want to sign him as a replacement for Kieran Tierney.

The 24-year-old has done well with Rosenborg and he could prove to be a solid addition to Neil Lennon’s side.

Celtic sold Tierney to Arsenal earlier this summer and they have banked £25m from his sale.

The Scottish champions are now expected to bring in a quality replacement and it will be interesting to see if they can sign Meling in the coming weeks.
