Despite being linked to several players already this summer, Celtic are still to make their first signing since the transfer window officially opened on Friday.
Rumours have been circulating about the possibility of Brendan Rodgers bringing Kieran Tierney to the club as well as looking at Swiss international goalkeeper Yvon Mvogo.
And although it’s still very early days, Rodgers is still waiting to make that first announcement that will tell the Celtic fans he is starting to build a squad for the season ahead.
But as they wait, former Aberdeen hero, Willie Miller, has urged Celtic to make a transfer ‘no-brainer’ and sign a player who is currently at the Euros with Scotland.
Celtic told to sign Scott McKenna
The Pittodrie legend was talking up Scott McKenna as a ‘great move for Celtic’ after he watched the 27-year-old progress through the Aberdeen youth ranks.
Miller said [The Celtic Way], “Any player coming through from the development squad and who manages to make it into the first team at Aberdeen usually has good habits and is brought up with them.
“I am sure Celtic players are brought up the same way but looking at the kind of person that Scott is if he does sign for Celtic then he is not going to cause you any trouble and he is going to give you everything that he has got.
“He is a 100 per cent type player and he possesses a lot of ability and fantastic pace. He has developed into a real asset to anybody who can persuade him to join their club this summer.
“From that point of view, if Scott is on a free transfer then it would be a great move for Celtic if they could persuade him to come to the club and it is a bit of a no-brainer.”
McKenna was asked about his future whilst at the Euros and recently refused to rule out a move to Paradise saying that whilst ‘there is nothing to tell’ right now, he is currently fully focused on the job he has to do in Germany with Steve Clarke’s Scotland squad.
The former Nottingham Forest defender was linked to Celtic in January as his contract entered into its final six months after being told he wasn’t part of Nuno Espirito Santo’s plans moving forward.
Now out of contract, McKenna is still without a club and will be hoping to get his chance in Germany to show that he still has what it takes to play at the very top of the game.
