With five days of the transfer window to go, there is no doubt speculation and rumour surrounding Celtic’s transfer business is likely to ramp up.

Already today TBR Celtic have told how Kenny Dalglish believes Brendan Rodgers won’t get the transfer he really wants and the current state of play about the Sydney van Hooijdonk rumours.

However, that still hasn’t stopped John Hartson from urging his old club to splash the cash and go and spend £4m to bring Bojan Miovski to Glasgow.

Hartson said [The Sunday Post print edition page 76], “Many names have been linked and all are good options in different ways.

“I’ve seen Bojan Miovski a few times and I really like the look of him. I think he’d do well at Celtic.

“He has been a regular goalscorer for Aberdeen and knows what it takes at this level and for his country, Macedonia.

“Bojan has a nice first touch, holds the ball up well and brings others into play.

“He also powers towards goal when the time is right and causes defenders all sorts of problems.

“In terms of a transfer fee, different numbers have been mentioned, from £3m to £6m.

“The bottom line is that Aberdeen will have their value and any interested club will know what they think he’s worth.

“Personally, I’d have him in the bracket between £3.5m and £4m. That would be good business.”

The Miovski to Celtic chat has been ongoing for a number of months now and with the transfer window edging to a close, it seems that these rumours are simply not going to go away.

With Kyogo Furuhashi struggling to find his goalscoring touch and Hyeongyu Oh at the Asian Cup, could Miovski really be the answer to Celtic’s striking worries?

And at 24 years old he would hold a decent resale value. At £4m, Celtic could easily afford the fee it’s just whether or not a deal could be struck with Aberdeen floating around the relegation zone.
