St Mirren star Keanu Baccus has turned heads across the globe with his performances at the World Cup for Australia.
And the midfielder could earn the Buddies a record transfer fee according to a Socceroos coach, who feels that Celtic and Rangers should come calling for the 24-year-old. Aussie coach Graham Arnold gave the Paisley star a huge vote of confidence up against Lionel Messi's Argentina side as they were knocked out of the Qatar tournament after he was a sub in the three group games.
Baccus is under contract with Stephen Robinson's men until the summer of 2024 but it is being floated a fee of around £2million would lure the player away with the English Championship being touted as a key destination as well as the 'bigger' teams in Scotland.

Socceroos assistant Rene Meulensteen said: "I could see him go to France, Spain or the Championship and fit in there because he has such boundless energy to go with his technique.
“Perhaps he could also move to one of the bigger clubs in Scotland. He has a lot of great attributes to his game, which is why he got the opportunities he did in Qatar. And he made the most of every situation there.”
