Celtic and Rangers have both been told they would be "stupid" not to try and sign Motherwell's Elijah Just.
In a Motherwell team that took acclaim all season, the attacking midfielder was one of the main standouts and earned a nomination for the Premiership's Player of the Year, as well as being named in the Team of the Year.
Celtic and Rangers have both been credited with an interest in the 26-year-old, and Chris Sutton says both would be daft not to firm that up.
Speaking on the Warm Up, he said: “Just is just a revelation. I think he is such an intelligent footballer. He can’t be at Motherwell next season.

"If Celtic or Rangers don’t touch him, then they are stupid.”
The New Zealander missed out on the Player of the Year prizes, with Hearts' Claudio Braga bating him to both the PFA and Scottish Football Writers' gongs.
Kris Boyd reckons Just would have been a worthy winner.
He said: “You look at Elijah Just, and people like that. Then they started to build, and build (Motherwell).
“Then you have seen someone, you have got to say, there has been a lot of chat about Player of the Year, but I think his performances deserve to be right up there, in terms of nominees. The way he receives the ball. The way he takes people on. It’s something we don’t really see anymore. The way he glides past people. He can go with both feet. Predominantly more left-footed. I think he has been an outstanding signing for Motherwell.”
