    I think I'd take him..

    Energetic. Decent pace. Dig. Box to box. Scores here and there. Performs well in our league. Still young with plenty scope to improve..

    Is he good enough on the ball? I'm no sure..

    I'd rather him than a Ferguson for example (purely on ability) from what I've seen..

    1.75 seems a touch on the pricey side but is what it is..

    Don’t get me wrong, only saw him a handful of times but from what I’ve saw I’d take him, probably for around a million though

    Celtic have been warned they’ll have to stump up the cash if they want to sign Ali McCann.

    The Hoops watched the Northern Irish international in St Johnstone’s Scottish Cup semi-final win over St Mirren at Hampden and are understood to be interested in signing the midfielder.


    McCann helped Callum Davidson’s side to a historic cup double this season, lifting both the Betfred and the Scottish while claiming a top six spot in the Scottish Premiership.

    Plenty of clubs have the 21-year-old on their radar this summer after a stellar season that has impressed those watching at Celtic.





    But Saints chairman Steve Brown will only consider selling his prized asset if the Perth club receive a record fee for him.

    "There's been a huge amount of interest in Ali,” he said



    He's been consistent over the last two seasons and is going away with Northern Ireland on international duty.

    He's played against Italy in the last international break and he's a class act.

    "Our transfer record is £1.75million and Ali will not be leaving for any less than that.

    "We don't want players to leave when we have a successful team.


    Selling players is one thing but replacing them is another - it's a huge challenge to get the same calibre of player back in."

    If we don’t pay 1.8 million for him someone else will. It all depends on how much Celtic want him....if indeed the rumours are true

    He is a decent player by all accounts, but he has never stood out to me like, say, Armstrong, McGinn or Turnbull did. (To be fair to him, I can remember almost nothing about the season that has just passed.)

    I think that £2m could be better spent elsewhere. We picked up Turnbull for £3m, and he had taken the league by storm.

    He was incredible against Galatasaray tonight. Would definitely take him.

    People would say midfield is the least of our worries but let's be honest, all areas are a worry.

    He was excellent. 1.75 or something is fuckall when we could do with another body and got McCarthy for free...

    Quicker than I thought he was and presses like *..

    Only gonna keep improving. We'd be stupid to let him pass..

    Be a great option to have especially if Christie goes, only 20 as well. Could shift him into right back as well if needed.

    Another one we will probably regret not buying when they're eventually out our price range.

    This is my biggest thing. Ange rates Christie because of his engine in his system. McCann will offer that.

    100% we'll regret it if we miss out. .

    Been wanting him for ages, With Christie most likely leaving and Tirnbulla form dropping off a cliff we'd be daft not to go for him.

    We need another midfielder that is technically good and mobile. He ticks both boxes. It's a no brainer for me and I'd send Scott robertson and/or Henderson on loan as part of the deal

    Don't worry we can sign him after he's been in England for a decade...
