Celtic feeder club Admira Wacker have revealed a club delegation held talks with Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers last week on a visit to Glasgow.
The Scottish champions have established a link-up with the Modling side, who have been Austrian champions nine times, but are currently sitting in mid-table in the second tier of the Austrian Bundesliga.
Celtic have already loaned Scotland Under 21s international defender Matthew Anderson and goalkeeper Tobi Oluwayemi to them this season.
And a representation from the club met with Rodgers and Celtic officials before attending the Champions League draw with Atletico Madrid.
Admira Wacker sports director Peter Stoger said: "It was about us having discussions about how we can continue to develop cooperation between the clubs.
"You look for win-win situations where everyone benefits. And Celtic are really very interested in the partnership.
"There's a good chance we can expand the partnership, but it won't happen overnight.
"We also had a meeting with Brendan Rodgers.
"The Atletico game was fantastic and Celtic Park is definitely one of the best stadiums in Europe with an incredible atmosphere."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
