Penrice emerges as Celtic target
The 26-year-old has impressed with Hearts since joining the club, establishing himself as one of the standout full-backs in the Scottish Premiership. His consistent performances have now attracted interest from Celtic, who are assessing potential additions to Brendan Rodgers' squad.
While no formal bid has been submitted, the club have made contact to gather information on the conditions of a possible transfer. Penrice is viewed as a reliable option capable of adding depth to the left side of the defence.
Celtic plan for squad depth
With Tierney expected to play a key role this season, Celtic are keen to ensure they have strong competition in the position. Penrice's experience in Scottish football and his attacking qualities make him an attractive candidate for the role.
Talks remain at an early stage, and it is still unclear whether Celtic will proceed with a formal offer. However, the club's enquiry signals genuine interest as they continue their recruitment plans before the transfer window closes.
