CELTIC are closing in on a £1.5million swoop for Coventry left back Danny Fox.

Parkhead boss Tony Mowbray hoped to seal the move for the 23-year-old defender last night.
But after hours of tense negotiations, no deal was completed before the official 11pm Euro deadline.
Fox, though, could still be signed in time for the Champions League clash with Dinamo Moscow next week.
A new ruling allows clubs to sign one new squad member 24 hours before the first leg.
Fox was born in England but is eligible for Scotland - and national boss George Burley is eager to make him part of his World Cup squad.
He was named in the Championship's Team of the Year last season.
Nottingham Forest were on Fox's trail too and they had a bid rejected before Celts made their interest known.
Meanwhile, Scott Brown could be set to make a sensational return from injury in time for Celtic's Euro opener.
The Hoops midfielder underwent ankle surgery at the end of the season and was expected to miss the double-header with the Russian side.
But boss Mowbray last night revealed the Scotland star is winning his fight for fitness and could yet be ready for the first leg on Wednesday.
Mowbray said: "Scott is close. He's got more than half a chance of being okay for the second leg, but I haven't ruled out the first leg either.
"He is back on the training ground, running, twisting and kicking.
"He is playing in our two-v-twos and it's great to see. I would suggest if it was the last game of the season, like a cup final, we'd play him.
"It's weighing up the potential consequences of playing him then losing him for a longer spell.
"For the sake of giving him another week we might not play him - but I haven't ruled him out.
"We could tactically play him in a position which wasn't overly demanding because psychologically having Scott Brown in our team would give us a lift."
Mogga worked with Brown at Hibs and admits he's the type of player who excites him. He added: "I think he still has a long way to go.
"I didn't watch a lot of Celtic last year, but I still saw him running around with a big red face.
"As he grows he'll know when to run and when to stand still. But he has real acceleration and all the qualities to be a top footballer."
Mowbray has hinted that Italian misfit Massimo Donati could still have a future at the club.
He added: "From the day I've walked in Massimo has been a very focused guy. He has a lovely personality.
"He has an Italian mentality as we saw in Cardiff - you give him a job to do, he does it. Massimo has shown he has quality and desire
