Scottish Football Rumours: Miller’s £4m Valuation, Schmeichel’s Contract, Deeney’s Past Offer

Reports from the Daily Mail indicate that Celtic and Rangers are poised to pursue 18-year-old midfielder Lennon Miller, with Motherwell reportedly seeking a £4m transfer fee for the Scotland Under-19 international. Tipsbladet reports that Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel expects a decision to be reached next year concerning the activation of a contract extension option for an additional 12 months beyond the summer for the 38-year-old. Troy Deeney stated on the Under The Cosh podcast that he turned down a £40,000 per week offer from Celtic, opting instead for a £12,000 agreement with Birmingham City following the 36-year-old striker’s release by Watford two years ago.
