Former Bayern coach Trapattoni revealed that he recommended the 22-year-old wizard for the Bundesliga champions.

"I met my old Bayern assistant in Germany recently and he asked me what I think about McGeady because they are following him," the Italian told the Scottish Sun.

"They wanted my opinion and I said McGeady is one of our most important players. With more confidence, he has the possibility to improve even further."

McGeady developed into a key figure for the Scottish champions in the past few years, which saw him help the Bhoys win three Premier League titles.

The talented midfielder, who won over 20 caps for Ireland, was named Scottish PFA Players' Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year last season.
