Celtic have been heavily linked with a move for Motherwell youngster Lennon Miller.
The Bhoys are reportedly expected to make a move for the 18-year-old midfielder in the January transfer window.
Scottish rivals Rangers and Premier League leaders Liverpool are also in the race to sign the highly-rated teenager.
Miller has become one of the hottest properties in the country after producing some great performances in the Scottish top flight.
Southampton are also keeping tabs on the Scotland U21 international, but Motherwell chief Brian Caldwell has made it clear that they are under no pressure to sell their prized asset.
Pundit Mark Guidi doesn’t think Rangers will be able to compete against Celtic to sign the youngster.
Speaking on the Go Radio Football Show Podcast, Guidi said that it wouldn’t come as a big surprise if Celtic win the race to land Miller.
Miller has progressed through the academy ranks at the club and has done incredibly well in the Scottish top flight this season.
He was recently handed the captain’s armband in the absence of injured Paul McGinn and Stephen O’Donnell, which shows how much he is valued by the club.
Miller has a contract at the club until 2026, and Motherwell are expected to demand a fee of over £4 million.
They banked £3.25m for selling David Turnbull to Celtic back in 2020, and they would not budge for anything less than a club record fee.
Celtic have done incredibly well in the summer transfer window, bringing in some quality players, and they will continue to do so in January.
The Bhoys are doing well in the Champions League, and they have money to spend.
There is a high chance that Celtic could move for Miller in January and submit an offer that Motherwell cannot refuse.
