The Celtic View
Player Valuation: £15m
Scottish footballs biggest issue is that the SFA are useless and they just have an almost unavoidable penchant to bottle it against teams they should beat
They are quite similar to Everton in that regard
There's enough decent players there that they should be able to qualify for a 24 team tournament like the Euros
Organisation and mentality, thats the issue
Also the Old Firm hoovering up any promising young Scottish player only to stick them on a bench doesn't help either (See Gary Mackay-Steven)
I'm not even convinced McGinn would have played much if he'd gone to Celtic. They wanted to have him so Hibs couldn't
I highly doubt Celtic would sign a player so Hibs wouldn’t have him. They will sign players hoping they do the business, and in a lot,of cases that won’t happen, but there’s no way Celtic would spend three million pounds just to prevent a player paying for Hibs.
