CELTIC reportedly face a fight to land Norway star Felix Myhre with a rival club putting in an official bid.
The 26-year-old is widely regarded as one of the best midfielders in Norway‘s top flight, scoring six goals in 35 appearances this season.
The Hoops are looking to bolster their squad for the title run-in, with just two additions so far in the window.
Tomas Cvancara and Julian Araujo are the only new signings at Parkhead in January but they have been linked with several others.
Myhre has five caps for Norway and scored in the 11-1 thrashing of Moldova last September.
And reports in Denmark suggest the Hoops face a battle with Brondby to sign Brann midfielder Myhre.

Tipsbladet is reporting that Brondby have made their move with a €3million (£2.6m) bid to test Brann’s resolve.
The Norwegian outfit are now weighing up whether to accept the offer, with the report suggesting that Brondby have already agreed the framework for a contract for Myhre.
Retired goalkeeper Adam Larsen Kwarasey, who played with the 26-year-old at Valerenga, lauded him as one of the best in the Eliteserien.
He said: “Felix Horn Myhre is a really good player who is intelligent, honest, and hardworking.
“I would say that he is very stable and rarely plays bad games, and there are generally not many mistakes in his game.
“In my eyes, he is clearly the best midfielder in the Eliteserien, along with Patrick Berg in Bodo/Glimt.
“That is also why he is on the national team, so I only have positive things to say about him.”
It’s as the Premiership title race intensifies with the Hoops, Hearts and Rangers all in it.
Celtic were pegged back twice against the league leaders on Sunday in a 2-2 draw at Tynecastle, while Rangers leapfrogged the Hoops into second with a 3-0 win over Dundee.
