Report: Celtic and Derby County want Paddy McNair

According to an exclusive report from TeamTalk, Celtic are interested insigning Paddy McNair from Middlesbrough in the summer transfer window.

The 24-year-old joined Boro last season from Sunderland, and made 23 appearances in all competitions.

The 29-cap The Northern Ireland international, who can play in midfield or defence, has struggled for regular game time.

Although the new Boro boss Jonathan Woodgate wants to take a close look at him before making any decision, the club hierarchy are tempted to cash in on the former Manchester United player.

Newly promoted Premier League club Sheffield United are interested in signing him, while Championship outfits Derby County and Blackburn Rovers are equally keen.
