Over the past 24 hours, there has been a clamour over a potential move to bring James McLean to Celtic.

The Celtic daft Irishman who currently plays for West Brom would walk to Celtic Park to sign for the club but how real a possibility is this?

According to Football Whispers, they give it a 3/5 of happening.

We rate it much lower than this!

Not because we’re doubting James’ ability to play for Celtic in Scotland because he certainly could do some damage up here.

But if you look at the amount of attacking midfielders on our books and it just becomes ridiculous if you add another one on top of this.

James Forrest, Scott Sinclair, Charly Musonda, Tom Rogic, Callum McGregor, Olivier Ntcham, Stuart Armstrong and you have Ryan Christie along with Lewis Morgan coming back in the summer. Oh, and fans would like to see Roberts signed permanently.

The 28-year-old is is about to enter the last year of his contract which is probably why this rumour has popped up.

While James would certainly cause a stir up here, it just doesn’t look likely.

He’ll likely be at Celtic Park next month as part of the Ireland squad to play Celtic in Scott Brown’s testimonial.
