Celtic fans name their ideal Scottish Premiership signings

Asked the one Scottish Premiership player that they would take in the summer, our TalkingPoints users gave their takes.

Elijah Just of Motherwell is reportedly of interest to Celtic, and one fan named him as a “cracker” along with Josh Mulligan and Fir Park teammate, Tawanda Maswanhise.

Both of those players have also been linked in recent months. Maswanhise is locked in a battle with Benjamin Nygren to be the league’s top-scorer.

Energetic midfielder Mulligan of Hibs is reportedly drawing interest from the Premier League, but has been out injured since January.

Other Hoops fans are targeting ambitious moves for the main goalscorers from the Hoops’ main title rivals, Hearts.

One wants Claudio Braga, whilst another said: “Shankland. We don’t score goals, he scores goals, weakens the opposition. I’ve not seen enough of Maswanhise to know if he’s any good.”

Shankland was available on a free transfer ahead of this season, having run down his contract at Tynecastle. He was widely linked to Rangers.

Braga, on the other hand, has skyrocketed in value since moving to Scotland for £450,000. He is among the leading contenders to be the league’s Player of the Year this season, also being linked with Premier League clubs.

Another user has gone for a curveball, saying: “I would sign Dundee right-winger, [Cameron Congreve]. The young lad would be great for us”

22-year-old winger Congreve is on loan at Dens Park from Swansea, and has nine goal contributions this season.

The standard of players in Scotland is reflected in the number of them being linked with a move to Glasgow,

As well as Mulligan, Miguel Chaiwa of Hibs is also reportedly of interest, with David Gray speaking publicly about the player attracting suitors

Celtic also like Luke Graham, who has excelled at Dundee this season. The club are reportedly demanding a club-record sale to let go of the 22-year-old.

David Watson of Kilmarnock is attracting the interest of Celtic and others with his contract due to expire at the end of the season.
