John Terry has actually made an unusual recommendation in the direction of Celtic while waxing lyrical about John McGinn. The previous England international, who's now assistant at Aston Villa where McGinn plays, states the Hoops have lost out majorly on the midfielder.

Terry is quoted by the Edinburgh Evening News, opening up on the influence of the Scotland international as well as exactly how he will certainly cope in the English top-flight this coming period.

The 38-year-old claimed: "He is an outright gentleman, a real ability and also I assume he is going to take the Premier League by storm this year since individuals aren't going to know what to expect."

He is a genuine leading ability, a great lad who is eager to obtain much better and improve himself.

Celtic will not care excessive about Terry's reference

Perhaps the former Chelsea defender has actually been spending way too much time with Rangers employer Steven Gerrard. The Celtic recommendation appears a little needless from Terry, but it's rarely shocking offered his record.

There's no question that we lost out on signing McGinn last summertime, yet it's not as if not authorizing him derailed our season. We still secured a third succeeding treble in his lack with our midfield once again coming forward.

There's even an argument that Ryan Christie wouldn't have actually obtained his opportunity had actually McGinn been authorized. The former Aberdeen loaner only got his development because of an absence of central-midfielders and he hasn't recalled considering that.

In McGregor and also Christie, Celtic have 2 central-midfielders equally like McGinn. Yes, it would have been wonderful to authorize him last summertime yet it's hardly the most awful thing that's ever taken place to the club.
