Celtic appear to be closing in on their first January signing with hours remaining of the winter window, with Everton’s Jonjoe Kenny looking likely to seal a Parkhead loan move.
And, as to be expected, the transfer update has had plenty of Hoops supporters talking on social media.
The Daily Record reported on Sunday evening that the Hoops are set to sign the right-back on loan for the second half of the season after thrashing out a deal with the Toffees.
Kenny, a boyhood Celtic fan, is expected in Glasgow for a medical and to complete paperwork ahead of the midnight deadline, filling the gap left by Jeremie Frimpong following his move to Bayer Leverkusen last week.
The 23-year-old, who made 31 Bundesliga appearances on loan at Schalke last year, has turned out eight times for Everton in all competitions this season.
Celtic were also in pole position to sign Ben Davies on a pre-contract from Preston North End, however, the 25-year-old now looks set to join Premier League champions, Liverpool.
@aboutceltic asked their followers for their thoughts on Kenny ahead of his temporary move to Parkhead on Sunday evening.

What’s your thoughts on Jonjoe Kenny to Celtic?
Seems a decent player, one I’d be quite ha… https://t.co/KmZjdKkd6B (@aboutceltic)
This is what these Celtic fans had to say in reply, with many not exactly thrilled.
@RoganAidan: What I’ve seen he is average and a loan replacement we are patching a hole for a few months then we will start sinking from that RB Position again
@groid91: Just shows how far weve came to be fair . This is declan johnesque for the ******. We are now the laughing stock
@ccww1967: Anyone could’ve came in this window and the majority of fans wouldn’t have been happy. Until lennons gone it’s the “what’s the point” attitude
@b_sickbeard: Why’s he coming for a dead rubber? I’d strip the squad bare and play the youth team. Nothing left to play for this season
@AHeroforNow: Shane Duffy seemed a good player who wasn’t in the first team at Brighton….. Let’s hope this lad is better….
@Conor67__: No idea what to say tbh
