Brian McClair on the possibility of Ben Doak returning to Celtic this summer amid links

Brendan Rodgers is scanning the market for quality and Celtic are likely to make some late additions before the transfer deadline.

Adam Idah’s permanent move to the Bhoys is imminent. The Republic of Ireland international will sign from Norwich City for an initial £8.5 million, with £1 million in add-ons factored into what will become a record transfer fee.

Leaving Celtic Park at 16, the Dalry-born man has made ten first-team appearances at Anfield. Now mentioned in connection with a move away from Merseyside, it isn’t a surprise that a comeback north of the border has been floated.

Nicolas Kuhn’s early season form has offered encouragement for Celtic. Nevertheless, having a variety of game-changers throughout the squad would offer security in squad depth. Brian McClair believes that Doak could be the ideal candidate to provide a viable alternative on the flanks.

Liverpool pair Owen Beck and Bobby Clark have both been mooted as targets for Celtic. Anfield talents appear to be the order of the day, with claims that Ben Doak is also on Rodgers’ radar this window.

Brian McClair on Ben Doak potentially returning to Celtic

Speaking to Football Scotland, former Celtic hero McClair believes his old side should be in the running to sign Doak due to his potential, position and profile.

He explained: “I think he’s available on loan and he’s someone that Celtic should be interested in. I know he left a few years ago but I’ve also heard that Liverpool might want to sell him. I think Celtic should be interested in young players who clearly are good enough to be recruited by Liverpool in the Premier League and have been involved in a few games.
