Brian McDermott has opened up on his role as Celtic's secret scout - as he looks to help Hibs score success in the transfer market.
The Easter Road club officially announced the former Reading boss as their new Director of Football yesterday after a long search. He will now team up with Lee Johnson with one of his key roles in Leith overseeing recruitment. He's no stranger to scouting in Scotland while he took on an important role at Arsenal scanning for talent across the globe.
Just after Covid times he even worked for Celtic doing a lot of video scouting revealing that he had eyes on many of the players starring for Ange Postecoglou's relentless Treble chasers. His experiences mean he has a strong understanding of the market and will tap into that knowledge in his new position.
