Lennon Miller addresses future after Celtic transfer speculation

Motherwell midfielder Lennon Miller has addressed his future after transfer links to Celtic in the January window.

The teenager played 71 minutes on Wednesday evening as the Fir Park side defeated Dundee by two goals to one, with new boss Michael Wimmer securing his first win after taking charge of the club.

Celtic were reportedly 'weighing up' a transfer deadline day move for Miller during the winter window.

Nothing came to fruition, although the 18-year-old was recently quizzed on his future.

Refusing to give anything away, Miller remained tight-lipped: "My aim was to get back fit," he said (GlasgowWorld).

"That stuff (transfer speculation) takes care of itself, and I was just trying to get focused to get back on the pitch and play for Motherwell.

"It's obviously not nice to get injured, and for it to be longer than I first expected it to be is a tough one, but you've got to get your head down.

“You've got to work hard and come back as fit as possible, and then build up from there. Still getting there a wee bit.

"Obviously, I played the back-to-back 90s when I first came back, and felt fit enough, but there's still improvements there. The legs are obviously sore now, but we'll recover."

Brendan Rodgers has Callum McGregor, Arne Engels, Reo Hatate, Luke McCowan and youngster Jude Bonnar all available to him in the engine room, not to mention the currently injured Paulo Bernardo.

Celtic dipped their toe into the Scottish Premiership market last summer when they signed McCowan from Dundee for a mere £1m, although it remains to be seen whether they will make another move for one of the country's top talents come the off-season.
