SL View – Good signing for the Old Firm clubs?
Rangers, who are leading the Scottish Premiership table by 21 points from Celtic, are well stocked in midfield.
However, Glen Kamara’s future has been constantly speculated in the media, and Rangers are probably looking for his long-term replacement.
Celtic are also interested in signing him which suggest the Old Firm clubs are spotting a talented youngster. He is not a high profile name that can get the fan base excited, but clearly, he is a player for the future.
Rangers and Celtic can get him at a decent transfer fee, but getting a work permit for him could be an issue.
The Hoops need to undergo a massive rebuilding process in the summer, with Celtic needing to offload a lot of players. With Scott Brown approaching the twilight of his career, it’s high time Celtic invest in young raw talents.
