Ross Doohan will complete his loan move from Celtic to Tranmere this week.
The reserve goalkeeper has not had a look in despite the Hoops' woes between the sticks.
And his chances were not improved when Joe Hart completed his signing at Parkhead yesterday afternoon.
Micky Mellon, meanwhile, is a big fan of the 23-year-old having taken him on loan to Dundee United last season.
Herald and Times Sport understands Doohan will complete his medical at Prenton Park tomorrow morning and become a member of the squad later this week.
We told recently how Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou had planned to take stock of his goalie options after arriving as new boss. And behind Hart, Vasilis Barkas and Scott Bain remains Conor Hazard, the academy stopper who played a handful of games last season.
Doohan has played for Greenock Morton, Ayr Utd and the Arabs on loan in recent seasons as well as Ross County in the Premiership.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
