Aberdeen manager Jim Goodwin is aiming to offer Connor Barron a new deal at the Dons as their latest academy product's stellar breakthrough attracts interest from Celtic and others.
The midfielder spent the first half of the season on loan at League Two club Kelty Hearts, making a big impact under then-boss Kevin Thomson, who's side eventually went on to win the fourth tier. Barron though headed back to Pittodrie where Stephen Glass handed him his senior opportunity before being replaced as boss by Goodwin in February.
Now the Irishman has been impressed by his young midfielder and knows that interest was always going to arise. Premiership champions Celtic are one of the clubs said to be monitoring the teenager who is now a Scotland youth international. Bologna and Sassuolo are tracking him too and the Pittodrie club want to offer him a pay bump to match his current contributions.
