Ross Stewart, a 29-year-old Scottish centre-forward, has been linked with a move to Celtic, and it has been reported that the club is being urged to sign the player. Stewart is said to be in a legal dispute with Southampton concerning a contract extension following the 'Spygate' controversy. The Saints have reportedly tried to activate a 12-month clause, but Stewart has apparently asked his lawyers to examine the deal's terms following the club's exit from the Championship play-off final.
According to Dickov, bringing the former Ross County player back to Scotland would be a straightforward decision. He also expressed that if Stewart were to leave Southampton, numerous clubs would be interested, and noted that Stewart's profile has increased because of his performances during an FA Cup run, particularly in games against Arsenal and Manchester City. Stewart has been capped three times by Scotland. His current Transfermarkt market value is €2.50m, which is a significant drop from the reported €9.3M transfer fee Southampton paid to Sunderland for his services in September 2023.
