Last season, Millwall finished 13th in the English league. Although they hoped for greater functionality this season, the Lions failed to win their first game, leaving more to be desired in their functionality.

Now they are turning to Kelly to strengthen their team, according to the Daily Record. The 18-year-old rejected several contract offers from the Scottish champions and was dropped from the first team by Brendan Rodgers as a result.

Although he made appearances in elite competitions such as the Champions League last season and was impressive, he had to play his football in the Lowland League until his contract expired at the end of the year.

Rodgers spoke about the player last month, saying: “Daniel has been presented with a very, very smart contract. A contract that would allow him to sign for the first team, play, perform and develop.

“I spoke to the agents and the player a few months ago to tell them that if we can’t solve this during the summer, it will be very difficult to be with the team in the preseason. “

Kelly turned heads at the Hoops last season when Brendan Rodgers gave him a chance, and he even managed to score his first senior goal on his debut in a 7-1 win over Dundee at Paradise.

These impressive performances have seen him attract interest from across Europe and Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly tracking the midfielder.

He was expected to sign a new contract, especially since he is a Celts fan, but his time with the Celts is almost over.

Rocco Vata left Celtic last month to join Watford, who, like Millwall, are lower-tier English league teams. There will have to be a logic somewhere, especially since both players are Celtic fans.

It may be understandable to leave to sign for Bayer Leverkusen, pursue his dream and all that, but addressing Millwall in Kelly’s case is confusing to say the least, especially since Brendan Rodgers gave him plenty of minutes last season and more to come if he had signed the contract. contract with Celta.

But as with Rocco, it’s Daniel’s decision, it’s his career and he has to do what he thinks is right for him. Good luck to him at Millwall. Hopefully he will give one hundred percent for the Celtic B team until his contract with Celtic ends at the end of the year.
