Celtic are ready to send defender Jack Hendry out on loan in the January window.
A £1.5million signing from Dundee 12 months ago, the 23-year-old has featured in 25 games for the Parkhead side, but last started in a 3-1 Europa League defeat to Red Bull Salzburg on October 4.
Signed in the same transfer window as Marvin Compper, Charly Musonda and Lewis Morgan, Hendry won his first Scotland cap in Hungary in March, and travelled with the national team to Peru and Mexico for the end-of-season tour of Latin America.
With Celtic's head of player recruitment Lee Congerton a reported target for Anderlecht after two troubled transfer windows, however, Hendry is expected to lead an exodus of fringe players leaving on loan this month.
Sunderland, Portsmouth and Bradford are among the interested clubs.
Compper is also expected to cut short a disastrous spell in Glasgow, despite doubts over the Parkhead futures of first-choice central defensive pairing Dedryck Boyata and Filip Benkovic.
Out of contract in the summer, Boyata has declined to sign a new deal and is a January target for Fulham.
Leicester City have yet to decide if they will recall loan defender Benkovic, or allow him to remain in Glasgow until the end of the season.
In terms of incoming targets, PSG teenage attacker Timothy Weah is poised to sign a six-month loan deal until the end of the season, while Serie A club Atalanta remain resistant to selling Belgian international right-back Timothy Castagne.
As Sportsmail reported, Celtic will begin negotiations for the transfer of Ivory Coast Under-23 striker Vakoun Issouf Bayo this week, after Slovakian club Dunajska Streda turned down an opening gambit of £1.75million.
The Parkhead club remain hopeful of agreeing a deal despite reported interest from Parma and Rapid Vienna.
If they are successful, they will be snapping up a 'killer' striker, according to Ivory Coast boss Ibrahim Kamara.
Bayo has netted ten goals in 16 starts this season for Dunajska Streda, and that form prompted the African nation to call him into their squad in October for home and away Africa Cup of Nations qualification games against the Central African Republic.
'We have been following Vakoun closely in Slovakia and he fully deserves to be part of our squad,' said Kamara.
'He was first called into the squad three years ago when he was playing in Tunisia and has also been a part of the Under-23s team. He's quick, direct, has an eye for goal and has the physique to be a top player.
'He's very powerful when he gets into his stride. I call him a killer in front of goal.
'Perhaps people here won't know him so well because he's been playing in other leagues and not many people know about the Slovakian league.
'But he has a very good record there and has huge potential.
'He is also an aerial threat and, if he keeps progressing, can become a very good player for us.'
