Scott Brown is urging David Turnbill to swap Motherwell for Celtic.
Celtic issued a take it or leave it demand to David Turnbull on Friday after his transfer from Motherwell hit a snag.
Turnbull rejected Celtic’s first wage offer, BBC Sport reported, and the club urged him to reconsider, stating ‘If not, we move on’.
The midfielder has since been linked with moves to English clubs.
Days have past with no resolution, and yesterday Celtic captain Scott Brown came out and praised Turnbull, urging him to choose the Scottish champions.
He said that Celtic could offer silverware, unlike clubs in England who are after him.
Brown’s comments were immediately rounded on by rival supporters who felt he was making Celtic look ‘desperate’ by publicly addressing the transfer chase.
Rival fans also criticised Brown for not pursuing a career in England himself.
Motherwell and Celtic had previously agreed a £3 million fee for Turnbull, BBC Sport reported.
