Motherwell have released a documentary of David Turnbull’s dramatic season so far. From his dream move to Celtic breaking down to being told he would be out injured for a number of month. The documentary captures how tough it was for Celtic target Turnbull.
In what was the biggest transfer saga of the summer in Scottish football, David Turnbull to Celtic proved to be both frustrating and totally bizarre. A spat between the Motherwell, Celtic and Turnbull’s agent dominated headlines as statements came out detailing the progress. The deal seemed to have been lost by Celtic as newly promoted Norwich threatened to take the Scottish youngster to Carrow Road.
But then, Celtic came in and offered a deal that the player, agent and selling club were in agreement over. Turnbull was pictured beside Neil Lennon, Celtic had their man. Or did they?
Midway through his medical, it became apparent that there was an issue to sabotage the deal. Turnbull had a rare knee condition, that had no symptoms. Instead of risking a potentially career ending injury by ignoring their discovery, Turnbull opted for the preventive surgery.
The 20-year-old went from a potentially life changing move to finding himself on a long road to recovery.
Motherwell tonight revealed a documentary into the road to recovery that took Turnbull from the brink of a dream move to a potentially career ending injury.
Last summer, David Turnbull was on the verge of becoming Motherwell’s record transfer sale.
Out of nowhere, a knee problem stopped his move.
This is the story of his comeback.

Turnbull is a top talent and hopefully Celtic return to Motherwell with a bid to take him to Celtic in the summer, should he be able to showcase the form that almost earned him a move last summer.
