Celtic hero Peter Grant "can't believe" his former club didn't sign Nottingham Forest defender Scott McKenna.
McKenna joined Forest from Scottish Premiership side Aberdeen in September 2020 and was a key member of the team that won promotion to the Premier League.
He was linked with moves to Celtic at various stages of his career, and Grant has outlined the reasons why he would have been such a good signing for the Scottish giants. He also took time to give the one area of McKenna's game that needs work.

He told BBC Sportsound: “I 100 per cent thought that Celtic would take him from Aberdeen because he is a natural left-sider and they were only going to make money from him because he was only going to get better.
“I can’t believe they didn’t go for him. He was available and it’s so key to have a left-sided player in the modern game.
“He’s like an old school centre back. There are no tattoos – you can imagine in the pub playing darts. He doesn’t get carried away with all the trappings of it he just wanted to get better. His distribution can be better but defending is his thing and he’s very good at it."
