Celtics can sign £4 million for “world-class” potential

Even though the season isn't over, the Celtics played in the Scottish Cup final in Hampden, attention has turned to the key summer in Glasgow's East Side.

Brendan Rodgers asked for a busy transfer window, hoping to strengthen his team, and he will hope all business will be completed quickly and have a crucial Champions League qualifier in his diary at the end of August.

Given that the potential opponents of basketball are two-legged tiees, including Bodø/Glimt, Basel, Dinamo Zagreb, Dynamo Kyiv, København, Crvena Zvezda, Malmö, Qarabağ, Ferencváros, Ferencváros and others, their seeding is still impossible.

So, can the Celtics ask for help from their next Scott Brown?

Scott Brown's Celtic legacy

The word legend is usually bound at a high frequency in football games, but Scott Brown is undoubtedly a true Celtic legend.

The following table highlights his surprising career in basketball.

Brown's statistics in 615 matches mean he ranks seventh in the club's all-time roster, behind Billy McNeil, Alec McNeill, Paul Maxtay, Roy Aitken, Danny McGrand and Pat Bonner, which is great in itself, becoming the club's biggest appearance in European competitions, surpassing Kenny Dalglish Dalglish records and Kenny Dalglish records in 2017.

Brown joined the Celtics in 2007 for £4.4 million, a record between two Scottish clubs at the time, so can the Premier League champions win a similar deal in 18 years?

Celtics' Target Scott Brown 2.0

Daily Record Scott Burns reported last month that the Celtics will try to sign Motherwell midfielder Lennon Miller this summer and called basketball a “long-term admirer” claiming the 18-year-old was valued £4 million by the Steelers.

The teenager was named Player of the Year by the Scottish Football Writers Association after the breakout season at Fir Park, and Motherwell owner Michael Wimmer admitted this week that his star man could leave the club this summer.

Both the Rangers and the Celtics were related to Miller's actions, while Dortmund, Eintracht Frankfurt, Wolfsburg, Wald Bremen, Udinese and Royal League St. Gillis were all listed as “interested”.

So what is hype? Well, there is certainly some comparison to the aforementioned brown, especially since he will arrive from another SPFL club, but because they are all sensational midfielders’ talent.

Indeed, analyst Ben Mattinson believes Miller has the potential to be a “world-class midfielder”, while Samuel Hutchinson, who is a comprehensive football analysis, calls him “one of Europe's most promising talents”, praises him for his “physical strength” and his technical abilities.

As for further signs of his potential, Scottish football journalist Kai Watson outlined how the 18-year-old was able to “control the midfield from the midfield”, a deep playmaker or ten, noting that he was never “bullied his ball”, making him “make him “resist the news” and the full circle. There must be Brown's echo in his ability to never be bullied.

As the following figures outline, almost all of Miller's included metrics are excellent, which is very impressive for the teenagers.

Most notably, he is the biggest player in the Premier League this season, and the numbers he has created with his assists and big opportunities are worth highlighting.

It's obvious that Miller is a generation of Scotland talent, and like Brown about twenty years ago, the Celtics should do everything they can to convince him to stay in Scotland and move to Parkhead.
