"I will be surprised if it was to happen anytime soon. It could happen in the future, there's no doubt about that. There are strong links between John McGinn and Celtic. I think his granddad was Celtic chairman at one point as well. Got to remember, he came very close to moving to Celtic before he joined Villa in 2018. The deal to Celtic was almost done before it stalled and Villa obviously swooped in and the rest is history."
"There's a deep connection between John McGinn and Celtic, but I don't think John McGinn will be considering a move back up to Scotland any time soon. You can never rule out a move in the future. I'm sure it's a move that might pull on his heartstrings in the future."
Aston Villa are in talks with John McGinn over a new contract, making an immediate transfer to Celtic unlikely. There are strong family and personal links between McGinn and Celtic; his granddad served as Celtic chairman at one point. McGinn came very close to joining Celtic before he signed for Villa in 2018, with a deal almost completed before it stalled and Villa swooped in. That sequence established a deep connection between McGinn and Celtic, but McGinn is not considering a return to Scotland any time soon. A future move to Celtic cannot be ruled out and could appeal to him emotionally later in his career.
