Ryan Porteous has been tipped for a move to Celtic by a Hibs hero - if he shines in today’s Parkhead clash.
The towering defender and Easter Road favourite is currently enjoying the season of his career, with a heroic Scotland debut against Ukraine coming inbetween two more stand-out displays including netting the winner last time out in the home win over Motherwell. Those performances have impressed many, including manager Lee Johnson who is desperate to tie him down on a long-term contract with a deal on the table. But one former Hibs man believes his future could lie at the home of the current Premiership Champions.
Tam MacManus reckons today’s clash could be a ‘dress rehearsal’ and the chance for Porteous to wow Ange Postecoglu. Speaking on PLZ Soccer, the ex-Hibee told how Porteous has all the credentials to fit into the Hoops dynamic way of playing. MacManus said: “I think this a great rehearsal for him to possibly get a move to Celtic.”
