Beck’s previous loan spells at Dundee had sparked interest from several clubs.
Celtic, who were actively seeking reinforcements at left-back, considered Beck a viable target and were open to a permanent transfer, with Liverpool setting his price at £3 million.
Celtic were previously interested in the left-back in January, but after playing for Liverpool, a move to Glasgow was ruled out by Fifa rules.
However, with Beck now headed to Blackburn, Celtic have shifted their focus and are closing in on a deal to bring Barcelona’s Alex Valle to Parkhead on a loan agreement. This move will fill the gap in their squad left by the conclusion of the Beck rumours.
Valle is in Glasgow and completing a medical.
