Lewis Morgan reckons reported Celtic target Scott McKenna is the dirtiest player he’s faced.

Celtic winger Lewis Morgan has revealed to The Scottish Sun that Aberdeen stalwart Scott McKenna is the dirtiest player that he has faced.

The Scotland international is a classic, no-nonsense centre-back.

McKenna, sent off against Rangers last month, has been heavily linked to Celtic in the past two transfer windows, with The Daily Record reporting last summer that the Dons valued him at around £10 million.

Asked by The Scottish Sun who the dirtiest player he has faced is, the 22-year-old Hoops winger said: “Big Scott McKenna up at Aberdeen likes to stand on your toes or nip you at corners.

“I’ve been involved in games against him where he’s gone right through a few boys.”

McKenna impressed in Aberdeen’s Scottish Cup quarter-final with Rangers today, which ended 1-1.

It remains to be seen if Celtic renew an interest this summer after manager Brendan Rodgers quit the Bhoys for Premier League side Leicester City earlier this week.

The Parkhead side will need a couple of centre-halves in the transfer window, with Dedryck Boyata likely to leave on a Bosman, while Filip Benkovic will return to the Foxes following his season-long loan from Leicester.
