Owen Beck to Celtic transfer faces Liverpool trap door as Dundee await FIFA trump card gift from Jurgen Klopp

Owen Beck has been tipped to make a move to Celtic - but a single appearance for Liverpool would end any plans of a switch to Parkhead this month.

And if Jurgen Klopp did give the Welshman a chance in the Anfield first-team before the end of the month it would leave Dundee in pole position to land the left-back again - should he be shipped out of the English Premier League giants on loan again. That is because of a FIFA rule that only allows players to feature for two clubs per season. FIFA transfer regulations state a football player is only allowed to be registered with a maximum of three clubs in one season - and play official matches for two clubs.

Liverpool recalled Beck midway through his season-long loan amid injuries to Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas - but he has yet to feature for the Reds. Beck was named on the bench for the EFL Cup semi-final first leg victory over Fulham for the first time since his time on Tayside was cut short - and Klopp has already hinted he could get a chance in the coming weeks.

After bringing Beck back, the German boss said: "We are really positive about Owen but he had two difficult loan spells, things can happen when you move away from home. Must be the right manager, right team, another experienced left-back already there, so many things can happen. The situation here is clear; we've lost two left-backs, so the boy we like is available so we bring him back. That is it."

A single appearance would scupper Brendan Rodgers chances of raiding Anfield for a second time this season - having already brought Nat Phillips on loan during an ill-fated six-month stint. But it would be good news for Dens Park boss Tony Docherty who left the door open for Beck to return - while sighting the
