Celtic Urged to Sign Lennon Miller Despite Rangers Interest
Former Celtic player Peter Grant has advised Brendan Rodgers to make a January transfer move for Motherwell’s Lennon Miller, dubbed Scotland’s next big star. Grant believes Miller is “more than capable” of forcing his way into Celtic’s first team.
Miller’s Rise to Prominence
The 17-year-old attacking midfielder has impressed in his debut season at Fir Park, earning 50 first-team appearances and 16 youth caps for Scotland. His maturity and skill have sparked interest from top clubs.
Transfer Speculation
Miller was first linked to Celtic almost a year ago, with TransferMarkt valuing him at £1 million. Rangers are also interested, but Grant doubts their ability to afford him.
Expert Praise
Michael Stewart, Charlie Mulgrew, Barry Ferguson, and Jim Duffy have praised Miller’s quality, urging Celtic and Rangers to sign him.
Grant’s Advice
“I said last year that Lennon Miller should have gone to the Euro finals,” Grant said. “Celtic, Rangers should sign him. He’s more than capable of playing in those teams… I genuinely think, like Luke McCowan, if you go to Celtic, it’s up to you to grab it.”
Celtic’s Strong Midfield
Despite Celtic’s strong midfield, Grant argues that Miller’s talent warrants a transfer move.
Rangers’ Financial Constraints
Rangers’ financial limitations may hinder their pursuit of Miller, making Celtic the more likely destination.
Conclusion
Lennon Miller’s potential transfer to Celtic or Rangers has sparked excitement. With expert praise and Grant’s advice, Celtic may secure Scotland’s next big star.
