Celtic have carved a thumping authority on the domestic soil with the way they have breezed smoothly past almost everything that they have faced this season. Under the excellent tutelage of Brendan Rodgers, the Bhoys have added strength to strength and have seemingly appeared to be miles ahead of their fellow Scottish Premiership sides.
With 94 points from 34 games, they have already clinched the league title, and are looking capable enough to go on to finish the season as an invincible side. It would be a stunning achievement, for the club, the manager and the players who have put monumental efforts in the process.
And let’s not forget that they won the League Cup and are due to face Aberdeen in the final of the Scottish Cup later this month. However, they need to instil such a huge level of consistency next season as well and without any shadow of a doubt, they would want to construct a strong footing in the Champions League as well.
The summer transfer window would be crucial for them to solidify their ranks and nullify their loopholes. One of the latest reports has stated that Rodgers has placed Hibernian youngster, John McGinn, on his radar and is keen to bring him to the Celtic Park in the summer.
McGinn has emerged as one of the finest products which the Scottish football has on offer. In the ongoing campaign in the Scottish Championship, McGinn has aided in Hibs’ return to the Scottish top flight as the winners of the Championship. His current contract with Hibernian expires in two years and he has refused to commit his future to the Easter Road-based outfit.
We have seen the likes of Kieran Tierney and Moussa Dembele being given adequate chances by the former Liverpool manager this term and has implied time and again that he is in the process of knitting a side with youngsters having immense calibre. He isn’t afraid of giving them the chance to thrive and his interest to sign McGinn makes perfect sense.
The 22-year-old is a very versatile midfielder who generally plays in the middle of the park and is capable enough to play in the attacking midfield zone as well as on the left wing. He cushions the backline, has a stupendous passing vision, has the requisite technical edge and caters to the offensive as well the defensive duties for his employers. He might not be a complete footballer at this stroke of hour, but with the glimpses he has shown and with a move to Celtic, he can definitely be one.
