David Turnbull was always destined for great things - and the Celtic midfielder will go on to captain Scotland one day according to former Motherwell academy director Gordon Young.The midfielder is a household name at Celtic after his 2020 move to Parkhead from boyhood club Motherwell.
It netted the Steelmen a record fee and the deal could rise to £3.25 million.Young - now assistant manager at Cove Rangers - spotted Turnbull as a youngster during his time as youth chief at Fir Park.He spent six years in the role between 2007-13 alongside his work as a first-team coach and was responsible for helping pick out marquee talents such as Turnbull, Allan Campbell and James Scott.
But Young, speaking on the 10th episode of the Lanarkshire Live Sport Podcast after the launch of his new book 'License to Skill', says it was Turnbull who stood out.
