Scottish giantS celtic are in talks to land Mubarak Wakaso on a season-long loan from Russian side Rubin Kazan.

Celtic are however unlikely to be able to field the Ghana winger in either leg of their Champions League play-off against NK Maribor.

Wakaso, 24, who joined the Russian side Rubin Kazan from Espanyol last year, has emerged as the latest transfer target for the Scots.

The deal, if it goes ahead, would be on a loan basis, suggesting a significant shift in transfer policy.

On the eve of the return leg of their second qualifying round tie against KR Reykjavic at Murrayfield last month, Celtic manager Ronny Deila made it clear he did not see short-term signings as the way forward.

'Loan deals are a possibility but loans are not ideal,' he said. 'You don't want to develop other clubs' talent and not get money for it.'

Wakaso, of course, could still be signed and then listed in the squad for either the Champions League or the Europa League group phase, depending on the outcome of the tie against Maribor.

He came off the bench to help Ghana to a 2-2 draw against Germany, the eventual winners, at the World Cup finals
