Reports in Scotland suggest that Coetzee could be unveiled as Celtic’s new signing before the end of this week.
Coach Brendan Rodgers is said to be in the lookout for a defender and he has identified the Bafana Bafana man as his number one target.
Following a long term injury to Erik Sviatchenko, Celtic are expected to bring in Coetzee to help out.
Coetzee was on the scoresheet when the Urban Warriors drew 1-1 against Golden Arrows on Saturday night. The defender, however, was substituted with a hamstring problem before the end of the match.
