The Old Firm and Premiership clubs are interested in McCarthy
|
Chelsea are the latest club to join the chase for Hamilton Accies' midfielder James McCarthy.
The Premiership side's chief scout Frank Arnesen was in the stand to watch the 16-year-old in Hamilton's 2-1 win against Partick Thistle on Saturday.
McCarthy has been having signing talks with Celtic, Liverpool and Rangers after breaking into the Accies' first-team.
He also spent two days training with Premiership side Reading.
Hamilton Accies manager Billy Reid said he was disappointed McCarthy was likely to play for Republic of Ireland instead of Scotland.
