‘Celtic in hunt to sign Lennon Miller’ – Top source has big news
Celtic are ready to battle it out with arch-rivals Rangers over the signature of Lennon Miller, sources have told Football Insider.
Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed that Celtic have the financial advantage over Rangers in their pursuit of the 18-year-old Motherwell star.
Miller has been a revelation for Motherwell so far this season, scoring four goals and providing three assists in 16 games across all competitions.
Celtic are keen on beating several English clubs to the central midfielder’s signature and keep him in the Scottish Premier League for the foreseeable future.
With competition for places in the heart of midfielder fierce at Celtic Park, however, Miller hasn’t ruled out remaining at Motherwell to further his development.
Celtic lead the race for Lennon Miller
Celtic seriously strengthened their midfield in the summer, adding Luke McCowan and paying a club-record fee of £11million for Arne Engels after the sale of Matt O’Riley to Brighton.
Brendan Rodgers’ side continue to pull away from their Old Firm rivals both on and off the pitch, sitting at the summit of the Scottish Premier League table with 28 points after their opening 10 league games.
Rangers are already nine points behind after their devastating 2-1 loss to second-place Aberdeen with Miller and Motherwell not far behind them in fourth.
In their latest annual report, Rangers revealed a huge £17.2million operating loss, making a move for Miller difficult.
