Hoffenheim are reported to be weighing up a move for young defender Liam Morrison, who is on the books of Scottish giants Celtic.
Bundesliga clubs are earning a reputation for snapping up hot young prospects from England and Scotland, and it would appear Hoffenheim are keen to get in on the act.
Scottish outfit Rangers lost centre-half David Bates to Hamburg last summer and, after he went on to shine in Bundesliga 2, Hoffenheim could complete a swoop of their own.

Morrison, 16, is understood to have caught the eye of several English clubs with his performances at youth level for the Bhoys, but it appears to be Hoffenheim who are at the head of the queue.
According to the Scottish Sun, former Celtic scout David Moss, now working as Morrison’s agent, is advising the teenager and he could be tempted to make the jump to Germany after seeing other youngsters get more first-team chances.
