Former Celtic striker Craig Beattie believes Lawrence Shankland could be an ideal transfer fit for Celtic.
The Dundee United hitman was capped twice for Scotland in the international break and opened his national team account with a goal against San Marino on Sunday night.
He has been in sensational goal-scoring form in the Championship this season but until the player makes a move their will always be a question mark over his ability to step-up to a higher level.
While Rangers and Celtic have both been watching the player, Beattie reckons it's the Hoops creative quality in the final third that makes Shankland more suited to a move to Celtic Park.
He told Open Goal podcast : "Celtic need a striker.
"I think he's good enough for Celtic. I think he suits Celtic's style more than Rangers .
"The way Morelos plays, he creates a lot of the chances and makes a lot of the goals himself, whereas Celtic are more creative in the final third with their wide players.
"I think he would be more suited and think he could quite easily come into Celtic and do a job there.
"The problem is going to be, if it's a January move, that Dundee United are going to want silly money for him.
"Are Rangers or Celtic going to pay ridiculous money to a Championship team in Scotland?"
