CELTIC are keeping tabs on St Mirren and Scotland Under-21 starlet John McGinn.

Mailsport understands the 20-year-old impressed Hoops boss Ronny Deila and assistant John Collins with his performances in the Buddies’ two matches against Celtic this season.

McGinn is on a lengthy list of transfer targets for Deila — which also includes Dundee United midfielder Stuart Armstrong.

McGinn, a lifelong Hoops fan, is out of contract in the summer and will be available in January for a cut-price fee, but the midfielder is also attracting attention from a host of Championship clubs in England.

Deila admitted last week that he’s keen to add Scottish talent to his squad in January.

He said: “We’re looking at players in Scotland — it would be good for togetherness. They know the culture and the environment.”
