Former Motherwell manager Stephen Robinson believes that David Turnbull should be the man that Celtic build their side around going forward.

As quoted by the Daily Record speaking to Mailsport, Robinson played a key part in Turnbull’s development bringing him through the Well academy thinks that with the talent that the 21-year old possesses, he has the ability to lead the side forward.

“I know Eddie very well because we played at Bournemouth together.

“If he does take the Celtic job I’m sure he will be asking me questions about David.

“You’ve seen the players Eddie had at Bournemouth in the Premier League and the style of football he liked to play.

“It was usually high intensity, with quick passing and moving through the zones.

“David fits into that perfectly.

“No matter if it is Eddie or any other manager, they would be very lucky to work with David.

“As long as he keeps developing with his feet on the ground – and the boy I know from Motherwell will do that – he’ll definitely progress at Celtic no matter who’s in charge.

“Whoever does come in as manager, David will have a big part to play in that Celtic team.

“He has been their one shining light to come out of a season where Celtic haven’t achieved what they wanted to.”

As well as this, Robinson is a former teammate of linked Hoops manager Eddie Howe and thinks that the Celtic midfielder would fit perfectly into his style of play.

If there are any managers out there who know the qualities of Turnbull as a player, Robinson is probably the one who knows him best having first introduced and developed the beginning of his footballing career at Motherwell.

He is given high praise indeed from the former Well manager and it has been pretty evident to see the quality that he has this season with him being one of the very few bright sparks this season.

There is no doubt that whoever the next manager is going forward, Turnbull will likely be a key player in his plans.
