Elijah Just Celtic transfer competition as World Cup starring show opens doors

Motherwell's star man is of interest to Celtic but now things have changed for the player

Elijah Just remains a Celtic transfer target this summer - but his starring show at the World Cup has thrown a spanner in the works.

The Motherwell star put on a clinic for New Zealand and bagged an impressive brace in their opening match, a 2-2 draw, against Iran on Tuesday.

Just was nominated for Scottish PFA Player of the Year following an incredible campaign for the Steelmen last term and Celts were keeping a close eye on the midfielder.
