This bid alone should signal to Celtic that the Austrailian winger is not worth the chase and their attention should be elsewhere.
Winger’s age is important, younger wingers are typically more pacey and agile, but with Martin Boyle reaching his thirties signing the player for such a fee would be a waste of money.
It’s clear that Hibs are holding out for their asking price of the player which is about £3 million, a ridiculous fee in all honesty.
Celtic have better options already in the squad with Karamoko Dembele returning from injury and Liel Abada still improving. Signing a winger who will turn 29 in the coming months is not logical.
If Postecoglou has assessed the winger department and he still feels there is improvement needed his scouts must look elsewhere, that is if the funds are available after our January spending spree.
Celtic should stay well away from Martin Boyle unless Hibs are willing to negotiate a sensible price for his services.
