Yosuke Ideguchi could leave Celtic in a deadline-day loan switch.

The Japanese midfielder is reportedly being monitored by clubs in Germany and Japan over a temporary Celtic departure.

Ideguchi, 26, only joined Celtic in January last year but could be headed for the exit this evening.

Ange Postecoglou signed Ideguchi - on a deal to 2026 - alongside moves for Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate.

However, the midfielder has had his game time limited by squad competition along with injury problems.

Ideguchi hasn't featured at all for Celtic this season - only being on the bench for a handful of fixtures.

The Scottish Sun now report that Ideguchi is keen on a loan exit on deadline day.

Former J-League club Gamba Osaka are reportedly keeping tabs on Ideguchi with German club Greuther Furth also monitoring the situation.

It comes as Oliver Abildgaard could also depart Celtic Park today.

The holding midfielder is currently on a one-year deal from Rubin Kazan but has also struggled for game time at Celtic.

It's claimed the Dane is wanted by Aalborg which could see his deal at Celtic cut short to allow for a switch to his homeland.

Neither Abildgaard or Ideguchi would face problems in departing Glasgow, with Celtic reportedly happy to allow the pair to leave.

Postecoglou has Callum McGregor, Reo Hatate, Aaron Mooy, Matt O'Riley and David Turnbull as midfield regulars this season.

New signing Tomoki Iwata has also featured in the midfield with James McCarthy also still contracted at Parkhead.
