[RIP Bestie]

Hopefully not another promising youngster having his potential ripped away from him at the graveyard that is Parkhead.

[500miles]

They're not spending 3m on squad filler. He'll play.

Guess Celtic have learned their lesson about lowballing, as £3 million to another Scottish team for a player with less than 40 games under his belt is quite un-Celtic.

Good player undoubtedly.

[Leitherhibs]

Quality player, can't believe he didn't break through until this season, he'll get game time at Celtic.

I suspect they can't afford to take the risk after last year. Not only is SJM now out of their price and wage range, other English clubs will be thinking what other Scottish players could be worth having a look at after the performance of SJM last season with Villa.

Mcgregor has been linked with a few clubs down South, Leicester especially.

I wonder if this is his long term replacement.

I think that’s quite possible.

As said above, Celtc were obviously stung by their stupid low balling over Mcginn last summer and have changed strategy.

[GreenCastle]

To be fair Celtic have sold several players to the EPL and made a fortune so could easily happen here also.

[Onceinawhile]

Didn't realise he had 15 goals in 31 games last season. That is some going, especially for a team out with the top 6.

[GloryGlory]

Funny how Celtc didn't want to pay for John McGinn, full international regular and double cup winner, but are willing to pay £3M for a player that's had a bright start to his career but is otherwise unproven.

They did want McGinn and matched Villas bid.

Only once they realised Hibs weren’t bluffing!

By that stage, McGinn had already been down to Birmingham and it was far too late.

Fingers burnt and got pelters for their SJM handling.

They have loads in the bank, so perhaps have decided not to be idiots again.

He is a good player, dont think its a gamble

I think the McGinn story has taught them a lesson about not going in hard with Scottish clubs when a much bigger market exists next door.

I'll be honest and say I didn't know who he was until about march but it's good money for Motherwell.

[Power]

Disappointed by this.

Seems Celtic might’ve learned from their McGinn errors though.

[Stevie Reid]

Also he just scored as many goals (16) in 29 SPL starts, as SJM managed in three seasons for us - two of which were in the Championship.

There's obviously so much more to McGinn's game, but midfielders with those kind of scoring ratios tend to go for decent money.

EDIT: just noticed it's 15 goals, Soccerbase has included a Challenge Cup game for Motherwell U20s

[Ozyhibby]

I think this is great business by Celtic. He looks like an outstanding talent. Scoring at that rate from midfield in a bottom 6 team at 19 years old is pretty amazing, especially when his all round play is as good as it is.

Celtic had an initial bid of £2m rejected, they obviously decided that they weren’t mucking about this time and decided to pay the going rate.Have they learned from missing out on McGinn? I very much doubt it.

Think Motherwell are after a few Celtic players on loan

Be a decent return for them, asking for Johnston or Morgan on loan, think more chance of the latter

I’d agree, can’t see Morgan making it at Celtic

[04Sauzee]

Reports that he has turned down Celtic

[Robbo6-2]

Celtics offical Twitter is absolute cringe.

Who do they actually think they are.

[we are hibs]

Celtic and Lawwell act like a petulant bairn every time they don't get their own way. Get it up them.
