Lennon Miller appears to be the hot topic among Celtic fans at the moment. Do you think the club should look to make a move in January or beyond?
Surely there’s scope for a deal to be done here, he’s got so much potential!

Lennon Miller is a fantastic prospect at the minute and can only get better.
My personal opinion is that if we did buy him in January or summer 2025, then he would be best being loaned back to Motherwell for a season or so.
I say that based on a few factors.
-
We’ve bought fantastic prospects from Motherwell before (Stephen Pearson and David Turnbull) who could not get to a regular first team player level with Celtic.
-
Miller is only 18 at the minute so has plenty of time on his side
-
Would Brendan drop any of our regulars to put Miller in? (More looking at Bernardo and McCowan on our fringes but would walk into many teams even UK wide).
I’d hate for us to rush in just because our rivals over the city are sniffing around (although I haven’t a clue where their finances would come from???) and perhaps waste a fantastic Scottish talent.

I completely agree with you there, at this point regular minutes have to be the key for Lennon Miller to reach his potential.
Looking at us, McGregor isn’t getting any younger (it pains me to say) and any opportunity over the next few years to make sure he isn’t overloaded with games is a positive for me.
Hatate at some point in the future may also depart after a few years at the club, so it would make sense to have someone ready-made to come in and take the reigns if needed.
Miller is a really exciting prospect and the fact he’s Scottish also plays into our hands. Brendan Rodgers is also great at helping players fulfil their potential, so any scenario we get him in the door is a win-win!

I personally think we should make a move for him in the January window.
It’s a no-brainer, really.
I understand that he has a lot to learn, but he has tremendous talent.
He would flourish under the guidance of Brendan Rogers.
One need only examine Luke McCowan’s adeptness in integrating into the team.
It’s a big step-up for him, but It’s one I will think he will jump at, given the chance.
As said b4 by someone, loan right back to Motherwell. Reo will be leaving in 25.
