David Turnbull urged to join Celtic
Former Celtic winger Joe Miller has urged Motherwell's David Turnbull to make up his own mind over his proposed move, rather than leaving it to his agent.
Miller said: “I couldn’t believe it when I saw he knocked back Celtic. His agent might have got a bit carried away with himself. He’s a good player but the boy still needs to develop.
“The figures being talked about are huge but that’s the way the game is these days. If he continues to develop then the money will come to him. Celtic wouldn’t sit still, there would be more contracts down the line or even a big move to the Premier League." (Daily Record)
