Lennon Miller told by teammate why Celtic transfer move ‘makes sense’

Lennon Miller is Scottish football’s fastest rising star and Celtic have been keeping a close eye on him.

The midfielder at just 18-years-old has already benefited from 68 first-team appearances at Fir Park over his short career so far which is a massive advantage to the kid.

Miller was called into the Scotland squad despite only just recovering from injury and that, too, pays testament to how talented the teenager really is.

Celtic made a bid for Miller in January but 67 Hail Hail understands Motherwell refused to discuss their asking price after booting the offer out.

Lennon Miller to Celtic ‘makes sense’, says Stephen O’Donnell

It’s likely Celtic will return for the playmaker and the Steelmen’s former club captain, Stephen O’Donnell, believes that would be a match made in heaven for both parties.

O’Donnell used Hoops skipper Callum McGregor as an example as to why Miller would suit the Scottish Premiership champions as both their influences on their respective clubs are massive.

“I have heard some Celtic fans kind of being critical of Callum McGregor this season,” O’Donnell said on GO Radio.

“Then, he is missing for the derby. By all accounts, I missed the game, but Celtic were way off it and that’s when everybody says, ‘How good is Callum McGregor’.

“Lennon Miller is a wee bit like that, in a way. When he is out of our team, by God, we are a different side and we miss him immensely and, for an 18-year-old, to be that integral to your side, that alone tells you how good of a footballer he is.

“He can mix it with the physical side of it. He has the technical ability I can only dream of. Can he be the best in Scotland? I don’t know. But I do think he has a right good chance if he keeps progressing the way he has.

“Touching on Lennon Miller for the Celtic replacement, it would make sense, in that regard. He can play both positions. He could even adjust game time slowly. He can learn.”
