Redknapp, who last managed Birmingham City, also spoke highly of Brendan Rodgers.
“I know Brendan [Rodgers] well and it is no surprise to me what he has done at Celtic,” Redknapp told the Daily Mail. “Top English clubs will be looking at him.”
And Redknapp singled out two particular players for praise.
Speaking about Hearts midfielder Harry Cochrane, Redknapp said: “A 16-year-old kid playing with such composure, and scoring, has to be good for the game in Scotland.


“I like John McGinn at Hibs too, he’s a good player.”
Pressed for his wider take on Scottish football, Redknapp insisted: “The Scottish game is fascinating at the moment. Craig Levein has steadied Hearts, Aberdeen are going well and it would be good to see Rangers get back up there.”
