Highly rated St Mirren star Dylan Reid has turned down the chance to join Celtic following talks with the Scottish Premiership champions.
Record Sport revealed that the Hoops have had a £125,000 bid for the St Mirren youngster accepted while there was also interest from Rangers. Ange Postecoglou admitted that if the Scotland under-17 international does sign then he would go into the B team for the Lowland League campaign rather than join up with the first-team after confirming the bid.
But following talks Reid has now opted to stay with Stephen Robinson's side. A St Mirren club statement read: "St Mirren Football Club can confirm that last week it allowed Dylan Reid permission to speak to a fellow cinch Premiership club regarding a possible transfer. We can now confirm that Dylan has turned down the opportunity to leave St Mirren at this point in time.
"The St Mirren Youth Academy graduate became the youngest ever player to play for St Mirren, as well as the youngest ever Scottish Premiership player, when he made his debut for Saints at just 16 years and five days old in March 2021. He has since gone on to play for the first-team on five occasions - most recently as a substitution in our 2-0 win over Cowdenbeath on Saturday. We are pleased that Dylan will remain at St Mirren and look forward to him continuing his development at the club."
