David Turnbull opens up on his failed move to Celtic

Motherwell midfielder David Turnbull has revealed that the failed move to Celtic has saved his career.

The 20-year-old was very close to joining the Scottish giants last summer but he failed the medical because of an issue with his knee.

The player had to undergo surgery and he was sidelined for eight months.

Turnbull claims that he even spoke to Neil Lennon and the move was close to completion.

The midfielder believes that it was a blessing in disguise. If the problem had not surfaced, it could have ended his career in the near future.
