Now Noel Whelan claims that the youngster would be a brilliant addition for both teams.
He said to Football Insider: “I think if you’re going to be chasing Celtic, you’ve got to have people that are ready to step in now with real quality.
“You can’t be expecting a player to step up from Gillingham to go to playing European football. You’re going to need backups and he would be a backup – training with the first team, getting used to it all.
“He would be learning from the experienced players around him.
