SPFL striker terrorised Carter-Vickers - I wonder if Celtic will sign him

Chris Sutton wonders whether Celtic will make a move to sign Hibernian striker Kieron Bowie.

The frontman has made a fine start to the season, having scored four goals in 10 appearances for the Leith outfit so far.

And Sutton, who turned out over 190 times in green and white, has been impressed by the 22-year-old, praising him for giving Cameron Carter-Vickers problems last season.

"Celtic would have seen plenty of him now, and I wonder whether eventually they’ll make the move for him," said Sutton on Sky Sports.

"I remember him last season when he had a performance against Celtic and really roughed Cameron Carter-Vickers up, which is not an easy thing to do, but he did do.

"I love his aggression, eye for a goal and he looks to be an outstanding young player.

"David Gray must be absolutely delighted he’s got him at his disposal."

Celtic opted to bring in free agent frontman Kelechi Iheanacho shortly after the summer transfer window closed.

The 28-year-old made an impactful debut at the weekend, coming on to score a stoppage-time penalty winner for his new side away to Kilmarnock.

"If you really watch the game, you see I’m making runs to get the ball and all of that," said Iheanacho. "I’m really fit and really ready to go for the season."

Can he play 90 minutes this weekend? "Of course," came the reply. "You’ll see."
