Celtic could make a transfer deadline day swoop for Lennon Miller, according to reports.
It's stated Celtic chiefs are considering a late move for the Motherwell captain before Monday's deadline.
The Fir Park skipper was not involved in the match between the two clubs on Sunday due to an ankle injury.
According to The Scottish Sun, Celtic could make a formal approach to try and land Miller today with Brendan Rodgers an admirer of the midfielder.
It's claimed Celtic have already had an offer for the 18-year-old booted out this month with Motherwell chiefs holding out for a bid that reaches their more than £4m valuation.
Serie A club Udinese have been credited with interest in Miller with bids rejected from the Italian club.

Miller - who faces another month out of action - still has another 18 months on his Motherwell contract.
Fir Park chief executive Brian Caldwell has been crystal clear that there is no need to sell the player as he revealed bids to this point have been nowhere near an acceptable level.
“To be bluntly truthful, we’ve had a couple of offers from a club who are miles away from that valuation of what we would deem Lennon Miller to be selling," said Caldwell.
“We are not desperate to sell the player.
“We have always said from day one it’s got to be right for Lennon, it’s got to be right for the football club.
“We are not just going to accept any kind of offer for Lennon Miller.
“I believe he’s statistically in the top seven players in the world for his age and in terms of midfield so he’s an exceptional talent, we all know that.
“If and when Lennon does leave it will be right for us and it will be right for Lennon at the right time.”
