Celtic weighing up fresh bid for Motherwell star

Celtic are believed to be preparing to make another bid for Motherwell midfielder David Turnbull, ahead of the transfer window closure on October 5.

The Hoops tried to sign the 21-year-old a year ago in a £3.25 million deal, which collapsed after a knee injury was spotted during a medical, but the Scottish giants have reportedly reignited their interest.

It's believed that Celtic boss Neil Lennon sent first-team coach Gavin Strachan to the Fir Park club's clash with Hibs at Easter Road to check on Turnbull's progress.

Turnbull underwent a further operation during the coronavirus break to remove two steel pins that were inserted during his first operation.

The Scotland under-21 star has enjoyed good form this season, including a superb goal in the 2-2 draw with Livingston last Wednesday, and was handed a contract extension until 2022 - however, that is unlikely to put Celtic off.
