Celtic encouraged to pursue Angus Gunn and Ross Stewart before World Cup
Summary

Celtic manager Martin O’Neill is urged by former Scotland striker Paul Dickov to sign free agents Angus Gunn and Ross Stewart. Both players are currently in the USA with the Scottish national team for the World Cup. Gunn is viewed as a strong option for replacing the retired Kasper Schmeichel after a difficult period at Nottingham Forest, where managerial changes impacted his playing time. Stewart offers physicality and scoring ability for a Celtic squad needing depth for the Champions League. With the World Cup serving as a showcase for both players, the urgency to secure their signings is emphasized.
