Motherwell vice-captain Stephen O'Donnell says a move to Celtic for his teammate Lennon Miller this summer would make sense.
The teenager has vastly impressed at Fir Park over the past year and more and was recently handed his first senior Scotland call up by Steve Clarke.
Miller has been linked with Celtic of late as the summer transfer window looms in the distance.
And O'Donnell, who has seen, first hand, Miller's emergence at Motherwell, reckons the 18-year-old is a natural replacement for Parkhead skipper Callum McGregor.

He said [Go Radio]: "I have heard some Celtic fans kind of being critical of Callum McGregor this season.
"Then, he is missing for the derby. By all accounts, I missed the game, but Celtic were way off it and that’s when everybody says, ‘how good is Callum McGregor’.
"Lennon Miller is a wee bit like that, in a way. When he is out of our team, by God, we are a different side and we miss him immensely and, for an 18-year-old, to be that integral to your side, that alone tells you how good of a footballer he is.
"He can mix it with the physical side of it. He has the technical ability I can only dream of. Can he be the best in Scotland? I don’t know. But I do think he has a right good chance if he keeps progressing the way he has.
"Touching on Lennon Miller for the Celtic replacement, it would make sense, in that regard. He can play both positions. He could even adjust game time slowly. He can learn."
Miller has featured 31 times for Motherwell this season and wore the armband on several occasions when captain Paul McGinn and stand-in skipper O'Donnell have been absent.
Contracted at Fir Park until the summer of 2026, it remains to be seen where the midfielder will be playing his football come the beginning of next season.
