CELTIC scouts have an extensive file on Lawrence Shankland, a player that they have been monitoring since his time at Aberdeen.

Meanwhile watch this… If the decision is as rumoured, Celtic should open up Celtic Park and show the game on the big screens and bring the players back there after the game if we get a result.

Given the problems that Derek McInnes has had this season in the striker’s department it is somewhat surprising that he allowed Shankland to leave the club.



Could Shankland do a job for Celtic as the third choice striker?

With Leigh Griffiths seemingly struggling to get himself match fit, Brendan Rodgers has had to rely ion Just one striker – Odsonne Edouard and that must be a major concern for the Celtic manager.

This evening Inverness Caley Thistle, the club who Celtic spent £500k with to secure the services of Ryan Christie, are the visitors to play the Honest Men at Somerset Park and it is live on BT Sport.

Shankland is easily the best player in the Championship this season and the same kind of money would be all that would be required to sign the goal-scorer.
