Speaking during his pundit work on BT Sport ahead of Motherwell's clash with Hearts in the Betfred Cup this evening, Sutton said: "Celtic have the better squad. I think Celtic are going to make a signing.
"Just going to give you a bit of news, I think Celtic are going to sign the Rosenborg left-back. Meling. We're nearly there."
Meling, 24, is still in contract next December.
