A right-through-the-middle defender, Gillies is listed as a Motherwell player on Transfermarkt. There is no Celtic connection to dress up here, and no need to invent one.
His career, for now, is a developing Scottish one centred on Motherwell, with the next stages depending on whether he can turn youth promise and squad involvement into regular senior football.
