The 25-year-old midfielder, who won Perth's Most Glorious Player Award for the 2007/2008 season, will head to Scotland to trial with Celtic after Glory's Round 24 fixture against Wellington Phoenix.

Glory owner Tony Sage revealed Celtic's interest in Pellegrino in The West Australian on Saturday, adding the club wouldn't stand in his way of a move but had held the trial off for Perth's busy upcoming period.

Sage said: "He's asked if he can go on trial and we've said yes but it has to fit our time frame.

"They had wanted him over this week but he would've missed three games so we said no. Now he's scheduled to go after the Wellington game."

The Glory owner added if Pellegrino failed to win a deal in Scotland, he was expected back for Perth's Round 25 clash with Central Coast on January 31.

The West Australian also speculated SPL club Motherwell were interested in Pellegrino's services.
