Boli Bolingoli 'agrees' Celtic transfer exit but outcast defender faces race against the clock

Celtic outcast Boli Bolingoli has reportedly agreed to join Russian side FC Ufa.

The 26-year-old hasn't played for the Hoops since October and has been deemed surplus to requirements by Ange Postecoglou.

The Belgian is fourth choice in his position with Greg Taylor, Josip Juranovic and Liam Scales all preferred in the left-back spot.

He failed to secure a move away in January and it had appeared he would remain at Celtic until the end of the season.

But he has no role to play having not made a squad since December and reports emerged last week that the Russian Premier League side were in talks over a deal.

In a new update, journalist Pete O'Rourke says Bolingoli has "agreed" on the switch.

But a deal will have to be concluded on Monday or Tuesday with the Russian transfer window set to close.

The deadline was extended after the season was put on ice due to extreme weather and it now closes at midnight of Tuesday 22nd February - around 3am UK time.

But it's expected a deal will be completed with Bolingoli keen to get back to playing regular first-team football for the first time since his loan spell at Istanbul Basaksehir.
