Keanu Baccus in Celtic or Rangers transfer tease as St Mirren World Cup star told he's ready for next step

Keanu Baccus is ready to make the next step in his career and take Celtic or Rangers by storm with a January transfer.

That's the view of his international coach Rene Meulensteen who believes the 24-year-old is in line for a major move away from St Mirren in the foreseeable future. 24-year-old Baccus only joined Saints from Western Sydney in the summer but his performances in Paisley have blown fans away and he earned a place in Australia's squad in Qatar. He was no bit-part player either, with his second-half performance against Denmark earning him a start against Argentina, where he performed admirably up against Lionel Messi.

Meulensteen - who is Graham Arnold's No.2 and previously managed Fulham, Brondby and Maccabi Haifa - reckons Celtic and Rangers could also be eyeing up a move for the 24-year-old. He said: "Perhaps he could also move to one of the bigger clubs in Scotland. He has a lot of great attributes to his game, which is why he got the opportunities he did in Qatar. He made the most of every situation there. I could see him go to France, Spain or the English Championship too and fit in there because he has such boundless energy to go with his technique."
