Bosun Lawal has been tipped to make it at Celtic by Charlie Adam.
The former Rangers player is the young defender's manager at Fleetwood Town.
The 20-year-old joined the Fisherman on loan at the start of the season, with Hoops legend Scott Brown in charge of the League One side.
The ex-Scotland captain was moved on, then Lee Johnson was drafted in. He came and gone, with Adam now in charge.
The one constant has been Lawal's consistent performances, and the former Blackpool and Liverpool midfielder reckons the powerful centre-half, who has moved into the middle of the park at times, has what it takes to make his mark at Parkhead.
Adam said: ”He was the best player on the pitch. Unfortunately, he’s not our player, he’s a Celtic player, but it’s a real privilege to have him.
“He’s a quality player; he dominated the game. His strength, his power, and it was an unbelievable strike. The longer he’s in the building for us, from now until the end of the season, he will definitely make a difference to our team.
“He’s a top talent, but hopefully, with the journey we’re on and the support that we can give him, he goes back to Celtic next season, and he goes and competes for a position because I believe he’s got the right credentials to be a Celtic player.”

Meanwhile, Mikey Johnston last night continued to show his worth with a stunning goal for West Brom.
The Republic of Ireland winger has scored two goals in five games for the Championship side since joining on loan from Celtic.
The 24-year-old made the decision to leave Parkhead on a temporary basis as he looked for more regular game time elsewhere.
The Baggies stepped up to take him off Celtic's hands, and he's not looked back since his deadline day switch.
