Sheffield United reportedly may want a former Celtic player.
Former Celtic defender Stuart Findlay might be on the move.
According to The Scottish Sun, Sheffield Wednesday may be interested in signing the Kilmarnock centre-back.
The 23-year-old has gone from strength to strength since being released by Celtic in 2016.
And joining a big Championship side like the Owls really wouldn’t be a good look for ex-Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers.
Findlay was released by Celtic during Rodgers’s stint in Glasgow, only for the Scot to join Newcastle United.
That in itself didn’t reflect well on the Scottish giants, even though he failed to make the grade in the North-East.
But he’d be joining Wednesday under different circumstances. He’d be joining as a more senior figure now and one expected to play first-team football.
And if the move happens, Rodgers could be left a tad red-faced. After all, Celtic will be needing at least two centre-backs this summer, with Dedryck Boyata having left and Filip Benkovic likely to return to parent club Leicester City.
If Findlay is deemed good enough for Sheffield Wednesday, he’s probably good enough for the Bhoys’ squad.
