John McGinn’s Celtic Aspirations
John McGinn, currently a key player for Aston Villa, has long been linked with aspirations of joining Celtic.

Before his successful stint with Aston Villa, McGinn was on the brink of joining Celtic. The midfielder was initially pursued by the club but chose to sign with Aston Villa, moving from Hibernian to the English Premier League. Under the guidance of coach Unai Emery, McGinn has thrived, becoming a fan favorite and captain, all while experiencing top-tier European football, including a Champions League campaign.
Scotland’s International Stage
While McGinn may harbor dreams of Celtic glory, his focus is currently on international duties with Scotland. Under manager Steve Clarke, McGinn played a pivotal role in Scotland’s 3-1 victory over Greece. The team is now preparing for a crucial match against Belarus, with hopes of advancing to the World Cup finals.
Upcoming Challenges for Scotland

- This would set up a critical double-header in November against Greece and Denmark.
- The ultimate goal is to secure a place on the world stage at the World Cup.
As speculation about a Celtic future continues, McGinn remains under contract with Aston Villa until 2027. Whether he will eventually fulfill his ambition of scoring a derby goal for Celtic remains an open question. Nonetheless, his current focus remains firmly planted on representing Scotland on the international football scene.
