Jim Duffy Thinks SPFL Striker “Must” be on Celtic’s Radar

Speculation over a permanent move to Celtic for Adam Idah is refusing to die down.

The Irishman had an impactful loan spell with the Hoops last term and although overnight reports stated a long-term switch could be completed by the weekend, Norwich journalist Paddy Davitt has since rubbished them.

The Canaries won’t let Idah go unless their valuation is met, regardless of the attacker’s recent off-the-pitch antics.

It remains to be seen whether a deal will be done, but Jim Duffy thinks there is a striker in Scotland who the Premiership champions have to be looking at.

“I think Bojan Miovski must be on their (Celtic’s) radar”, he said (Clyde 1 Superscoreboard).

“He knows the Scottish game, he scored a good number of goals and played well with a pretty average Aberdeen team last year.

“He’s a good age, he’s got enough experience, he’s a different type of option. Even if Idah does come in, you need more than two (strikers).

“I think he’s got to be on the radar for Celtic because he’s got good movement, he’s a calm finisher, he’s got a good range of goals and like I say, he’s on your doorstep.”

Miovski has been previously linked with a move to Glasgow’s east end and was out of the Aberdeen team at the beginning of the League Cup group stages amid transfer speculation.

New manager Jimmy Thelin, though, recently brought Miovski back into the fold, with a bid being rejected for the North Macedonian frontman in the past few days. Espanyol offered the Dons £3m for their star striker but were told where to go.

Whether the 25-year-old moves on this summer is up in the air, but Aberdeen would likely be reluctant to sell to Celtic. If the money is right, though, the Pittodrie side might have no option.
