CELTIC are keeping tabs on Exeter City winger Joel Randall after an impressive breakthrough campaign from the youngster, according to reports.
The Athletic say that Parkhead manager Neil Lennon and transfer chief Nick Hammond have been keeping a close eye on the 21-year-old with a view to making a formal approach this month.
English Championship side Swansea City have also been credited with an interest in Randall, who has eight goals and five assists in 24 appearances in all competitions this term.
Other EFL sides are said to be monitoring the wide man's situation, and it's believed that Exeter are holding out for a fee of around £1.5million to prise their star man away.

Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins and Chelsea defender Ethan Ampadu have both gone on to thrive in the Premier League after coming through the youth system at the League Two club, which should strengthen their negotiating position.
With James Forrest and Mikey Johnston struggling for fitness this season and Southampton loanee Moi Elyounoussi's deal set to expire at the end of the campaign, Lennon's squad is looking a little thin in the wide areas and the Celtic boss could be tempted to turn to Randall to flesh out his team.
