Celtic are one of the clubs reportedly interested in signing Motherwell youngster Lennon Miller in the January window.
The 18-year-old is widely regarded as a fantastic young talent, and the Bhoys are expected to move for him when the transfer window reopens.
Rangers are also interested in signing Miller, but broadcaster Marc Guidi says Celtic are more likely to get him on board due to their financial power.
Journalist Keith Jackson also suggested that Celtic should be working on a deal behind the scenes to sign Miller in January, but they may struggle to compete if Premier League clubs join the race.
Miller to get minutes for Scotland?
Scotland will face Poland in the Nations League on Monday night, and Miller may be given a chance to impress manager Steve Clarke.
Jackson wrote for the Daily Record that Miller is unlikely to get the nod ahead of other senior midfielders on the side, but he should be integrated as soon as possible.
He has predicted that Miller will become a “stalwart” for Scotland in the years to come.
Jackson wrote: “Miller isn’t going to start ahead of the midfielders Clarke has in his squad. But the sooner he’s welcomed into the fold the better. He’s going to be a Scotland stalwart for a decade or so.”
Celtic need to pay premium fee to land Miller
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers will be looking to add more quality to the side in January, especially if they maintain their impressive form in the Champions League.
Miller is a generational talent, and Motherwell will demand a fee of over £4 million for their prized asset.
Celtic showed ambition in the summer window when they spent big on Adam Idah and Arne Engels, and they should be able to meet Motherwell’s asking price for Miller.
The Hoops will face Hearts in the Scottish Premiership away from Parkhead after the international break on Saturday, November 23.
