Celtic is reportedly preparing for a transfer battle in their bid to secure the talents of Aiden McGinlay, a promising young midfielder currently playing for Queen’s Park. With a crucial Glasgow Derby looming that could secure them the Premiership title, the team’s scouting department is equally focused on bolstering the squad for the long term.
McGinlay, aged 17, has swiftly ascended through the ranks, impressing in both Queen’s Park’s under-18 and B teams after honing his skills in Partick Thistle’s youth system. His standout performances have not only attracted the attention of Celtic but also garnered interest from English clubs, including recently promoted Premier League side Ipswich Town and Championship playoff hopefuls Norwich City. According to reports from the Daily Record, both Ipswich and Norwich are vying for McGinlay’s signature, with Ipswich having previously hosted him for a two-week trial. Despite not securing a deal at that time, Ipswich has been closely monitoring his progress, signaling their continued keen interest. Celtic’s pursuit of McGinlay underscores their dedication to nurturing young talent. The midfielder, who also represents Scotland at the under-17 level, is regarded as one of the most promising prospects emerging from Scottish football.
