Lennon Miller breaks silence on Celtic January transfer efforts as ‘that takes care of itself’

Lennon Miller is destined for greatness, according to the experts.

The Motherwell midfielder has done well at Fir Park and has captained the club at just 18-years-old in the Premier Sports Cup semi-final at Hampden.

That is a lot of pressure for a teen but he has stepped up and that is why Celtic have been interested in Miller.

The Scottish Premiership runaway leaders have been keeping tabs on Miller for some time and after he broke into the ‘Well first team, the interest has only ramped up.

So much so that an offer of around £4million was mooted in January from Celtic only for the Steelmen to snub a conversation with the Hoops before the window slammed shut earlier this month.

67 Hail Hail understands Motherwell never had any intention of selling their prized asset this season even if an official bid had been tabled as they refused to officially set an asking price.

Lennon Miller breaks silence on Celtic transfer interest

Now the player has broken his silence on the noise surrounding Celtic’s January interest in his services as he made it clear that he was only focused on rehab for an injury he sustained earlier.

That issue has kept him out of action longer than initially expected and it has all been about attention to detail on recovery.

And when asked about Celtic’s interest, Miller showed maturity beyond his years to insist he always allows his representation to handle that side of the game.

He told the Motherwell Times: “My aim was to get back fit. That stuff takes care of itself, and I was just trying to get focused to get back on the pitch and play for Motherwell.

“It’s obviously not nice to get injured, and for it to be longer than I first expected it to be is a tough one, but you’ve got to get your head down.
