It's not really about comparing the players talents, as much as it should be, but more comparing the money available to the clubs.

7 million to Southampton is probably the equivalent of 1 or 2 million to Celtic. Celtic don't have another 7 million to spend on a player after spending 8 or so on the guy from PSG. They're loaded compared to other Scottish clubs but compared to teams down south they're paupers.
I think Celtic's board are just one bad Euro result away from a fans backlash though.

£7m in for Armstrong yet seemingly penny pinching over a replacement. It's not a good look.

Saw Ntcham was involved in a car accident last night (though seems like no-one seriously hurt thank goodness).

Hibs are quite right in having a bullish valuation, and in sticking to it. John McGinn is worth more to us than has been bid, and he's worth more to Celtic than has been bid. Just wait til they go 1 down to the opponent in their next round Champions League qualifier...
