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."
