It’s been a tough 2020 but the single scariest moment was the first quarter of the game against Man City. Rodrigo will be the saviour this season.

West Brom winger James McClean has made his intentions very clear about his thoughts on a move to Celtic this summer.

McClean played in Scott Brown's testimonial on Sunday, with Celtic drawing with Ireland  in a 2-2 draw.

Since then he's been begging for a move to Celtic, with his current club having been relegated to the Championship.

Talking in the Daily Record, McClean said: “Look, if it was up to me I’d have been a Celtic player a long time ago.

“When I was leaving Sunderland, you get the rumour pages and I saw one saying Celtic had a bid accepted for me and I remember being buzzing.

"At the time it was under Paolo Di Canio and it was in my head that I was leaving anyway. I thought this is it! But absolutely nothing came of it.

"I’ve just turned 29, I feel great. Fitter than I’ve ever been. If the opportunity comes it would be a very difficult one to turn down. I’ve never hidden that."
