Kilmarnock right-back Stephen O’Donnell fits Neil Lennon’s style at Celtic, says Mark Wilson.
Celtic have issues in the right-back position, and the Glasgow giants could do with a new player for that role in the summer transfer window.
Mikael Lustig is a very good right-back, but the Sweden international has made mistakes from time to time and is also 32 years of age.
Former Celtic right-back Wilson has suggested that 27-year-old O’Donnell would be a good signing for Neil Lennon’s in the summer transfer window.
Wilson told The Daily Record about O’Donnell: “He fits the style Lenny likes. He has pace, he can drive forward, and he’s attack-minded. He’s been playing international football and he’s done really well in a good Kilmarnock team under a top coach.
“He’s a great lad as well, though, very level-headed, so there’s no doubt he could fit in, and also no doubt Celtic need someone to either back up or challenge Lustig.”
Good signing for Celtic?
O’Donnell has been at Kilmarnock since 2017, and the Scotland international has established himself as one of the better right-backs in the Scottish Premiership.
During the 2018-19 campaign, the Scotland international made 37 starts and one substitute appearance in the Scottish Premiership for Kilmarnock, according to WhoScored.
A move for O’Donnell this summer will not be a bad idea for Celtic.
