Celtic have been urged to sign Motherwell midfielder Lennon Miller after his stellar performance against the Hoops on Sunday.
The 18-year-old stood out in Celtic’s 3-0 win at Fir Park, rattling the woodwork twice in the first half.
Speaking to PLZ Soccer, pundit and former Hibs player Tam McManus said he believes the Steelmen will break their transfer record with the sale of the talented youngster – and that Celtic should be the ones to do it.

“I think he’ll break [Motherwell’s] transfer record,” he said.
“At 18 years old, I watched him closely yesterday for the first 25 minutes, the positions he takes, his body position, his ability on the ball, his shot off the post, his free-kick off the bar, he is one of the best young players I’ve seen in a while.
“Motherwell are going to get a fortune for him, but they need to try and keep him for as long as possible because I think he’s their best player. He’s the best young player in Scotland for me.
“If you’re Celtic, you go in after the game and you ask them how much they want for him. He was that good. If you’re Brendan Rodgers or the Celtic board, you go into Motherwell, and you ask them ‘how much do you want for Lennon Miller?‘
“They’ve got the money to go and buy him. Even if you loan him back to Motherwell for a season. He’s a fantastic young player. Something about him just screams quality. If you’re Celtic, you’ve got to ask how much they want for him.”
