John Hartson has delivered a passionate Josip Juranovic transfer address with the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea linked with the defender.
Celtic snapped up the full-back last summer as part of Ange Postecoglou's first recruitment drive and the right-back has since established himself as a key player for club and country with the former Legia Warsaw man now first choice for Croatia. His stunning form and consistency in is debut campaign in Scotland has perked the interest of a number of clubs with England's big duo the latest names to be linked to the 26-year-old.
Juranovic helped the Hoops reclaim the Scottish Premiership title back from Rangers last term and lifted the Premier Sports Cup in a double-winning debut campaign for Postecoglou. That league triumph has come with the huge reward of direct entry into the Champions League group stages and a chance to mix it with the best players and clubs in Europe. Hartson says Juranovic has only been at the Scottish champions for 'two minutes' and his agent shouldn't be touting his services around to other clubs. He reckons he should remain at Celtic for a few years and continue his development.

Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: "It's always going to happen when you play for a global club like Celtic and your performances are very good.
"Clubs are going to come calling. Josip Juranovic has been at the club for two minutes and his agent is linking him.
"He's done really well and been an effective player. His agent shouldn't be touting the boy about but it's always going to happen. That's football, but stay at Celtic.
"These agents, they just cause anarchy because they want to fill their own pockets. Leave Josip Juranovic where he is."
