Scott McTominay sparks Celtic transfer plea as stadium ranking nod from Man United star has fans saying one thing

Scott McTominay aced a quiz during an interview - but it left optimistic Celtic fans pedalling a wild transfer theory this January.

McTominay has been a mainstay of the Manchester United team this term and has become a Tartan Army hero having fired seven goals for Steve Clarke's side as they booked their spot at a second successive Euros. A double against Spain got the nation dreaming after bagging a brace against Cyprus in the opening game. Further strikes against Cyprus away and Georgia at Hampden and in Tbilisi kept the red hot streak going - but those heroics didn't jump to mind straight away for the 27-year-old.

When taking part in a speed round of quiz questions with GOAL he was asked to name five stadiums outside of England - with the national stadium failing to get a mention. Instead, the home of the Scottish Premiership leaders receive a name check. The five that McTominay named were the San Siro, Bernabeu, Camp Nou, the Allianz Arena and Celtic Park.

And the clip has now capture the imagination of optimistic Celtic fans - who have hopefully taken to social media to demand a transfer. One fan shared the club stating: "I’ve heard enough, make it happen."

A baffled punter added on X: "He didn’t even mention Hampden." Another chimed in on TikTok "That settles it" - in references to a potential transfer. While another simply asked: "Celtic, bring him home."

However, apart from his wage packet in the English Premier League it's unlikely a deal would take place. McTominay has been a key figure at Old Trafford this season under Erik ten Hag.
