Celtic have made significant progress in securing the services of Auston Trusty, the 26-year-old centre-back currently at Sheffield United.

Trusty has completed the initial part of his medical, and all that remains now is the final paperwork. He is due to arrive in Glasgow on Friday to finalise the transfer formalities.
The former Arsenal man joined Sheffield United last year but clearly caught the eye of Brendan Rodgers, who wanted a left-back reinforcement.
Trusty’s arrival will also reunite him with international team-mate Cameron Carter-Vickers, adding a family connection to the heart of Celtic’s defence.
While Celtic are pushing to finalise this deal, the move looks set to be completed in time, marking a major boost to the club’s ambitions this season. The only concern would be getting his work permit in place.
While this is happening, Celtic are also putting the finishing touches on a club-record deal for Arne Engels, who is set to join Brendan Rodgers and the Scottish champions before the deadline.
