Celtic may not have appointed a manager or Director of Football but one of the reported targets, Ali McCann, is continuing on his impressive form from last season with his international team. The Northern Ireland Internationalist scored in the 3-0 win over Malta on Sunday.
It is a clever finish from a player with a lot of promise. Celtic have been told by The Double winning Saints that they will need to pay £2m to sign him this summer.
Celtic scout Tosh McKinlay has watched McCann as Celtic ponder a move for the centre mid and his performances for Davidson’s side will only help his chances of landing a dream move to Celtic. McCann could certainly provide an enormous amount of fight and drive to a Celtic midfield that has struggled this season. Ange Postecoglou, who is expected to be announced as Celtic boss, has always had very fit teams so McCann, who is a tenacious competiitor in the middle of the park, may be high on his list of priorities.
