Report: Celtic tracking Carlisle United defender Jarrad Branthwaite ahead of potential January move

According to The Scottish Sun, Celtic are tracking Carlisle United defender Jarrad Branthwaite ahead of a potential January move, while Rangers are keen too.

Despite being 17 and making just six league appearances thus far, the English kid has been one of the best performers in the League Two this term, and he is attracting a number of clubs across Britain.

Celtic’s director of football Nick Hammond reportedly made a personal visit to see Branthwaite in action last month, and Rangers have also sent one of their top scouts to run the rule over the £1million-rated teenager.
