Celtic Told to “Definitely” Sign Free Agent Centre-back

As the summer rages on, so too does transfer speculation surrounding Celtic.

Brendan Rodgers will want to bolster the quality of his squad ahead of the new campaign, with several positions needing to be strengthened; goalkeeper sticks out as one as does left-back. The midfield will need to be reinforced, too.

Between the posts, the likes of Martin Dubravka and Peter Vindahl Jensen have been recently linked.

As well as being on the hunt for a new stopper, Celtic also appears to be in the market for a central defender.

Gustaf Lagerbielke looks set for the exit door and already, the likes of Flavius Daniluic, Chris Mepham, and Daniel Amartey have been named as potential options to beef up the backline.

Peter Grant, however, has offered an alternative to these options in long-linked Scott McKenna.

The Scotland international is currently a free agent and recently refused to rule out a switch to Parkhead.

Grant would have no doubts about bringing him to the champions.

“100%. I would still look at him [now]”, admitted Grant (Go Radio via RecordSport).

“If you’re wanting to bolster your squad and think you need a few players, and if Celtic lose the other two younger centre-backs [Lagerbielke and Nawrocki], he’s definitely somebody I would look at.

“He’s got a bit of character about him.”
