Charlie Adam reckons Celtic-linked Ben Davies would be a shrewd signing for the club if they manage to pull it off.
The Parkhead club are interested in acquiring the Preston North End centre-half who has six months left on his current deal.
Celtic have a fight on their hands, however, as seven English Championship sides and two Premier League clubs are also tracking the defender.
And former Rangers midfielder Adam reckons it would be a great piece of business for Neil Lennon's men as he believes Davies is one of the best centre-backs in the Championship.
He told PLZ Soccer: "This would be a good signing for Celtic. I'd say he is one of the best at his position in the Championship.
"Left sider, quick, good size. I remember seeing him on loan at Fleetwood a few years ago. He played 20 odd games there and went back to Preston who were going to get rid of him.
"Alex Neil came in that summer and Fleetwood had agreed a deal to take him back. He wanted to back to Fleetwood because he enjoyed it that much.
"But Alex Neil saw him in pre-season and said you're going nowhere and gave him a new contract. Now he's played over 100 games for Preston.
"For me, if Celtic can get that over the line, that will be a good signing."
