Pellegrini: Roberts set for Celtic loan

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has confirmed that starlet Patrick Roberts is set to join Celtic.

Manchester City winger Patrick Roberts is set to complete a loan move to Celtic over the weekend, manager Manuel Pellegrini has confirmed.

The England Under-19 international is expected in Glasgow to complete a medical after the Premier League club agreed to a deal with the Scottish champion, but Pellegrini insisted Roberts remains a big part of the club's long-term plans.

Roberts has only been at City for half a season after transferring from Fulham in a deal rumored to be worth 12 million pounds ($17.
