Skysports.com understands Celtic are poised to sign Derry City starlet Darren McCauley.

Celtic have held a long-term interest in the 18-year-old and are ready to push through a deal to bring McCauley to Parkhead.

McCauley is regarded as one of the best prospects to emerge in Irish football in recent years and he has already represented Republic of Ireland at youth levels.

Blackburn and Ipswich invited McCauley over to England for trials last year and were keen on signing him.

However, Celtic have moved to beat off their rivals by agreeing a deal with Derry for the talented midfielder.

The two clubs remains in talks and McCauley is expected to finalise his move to Glasgow later this week.
