Celtic indanger of missing out?
That Celtic are reportedly looking to sign Turnbull in a hurry today suggests that the Glasgow giants are worried that clubs in England could make a late move.

According to BBC Sport, the 19-year-old midfielder Turnbull scored 15 goals and provided five assists in the Scottish Premiership for Motherwell this season.
