Ex-Spurs star admits he would love to coach Rangers
Former Rangers, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa right-back Alan Hutton has admitted that he would love to coach at Ibrox and Villa Park in the future. The 35-year-old called time on his playing career in February after getting released by Villa at the end of last season following eight seasons at the club. Hutton joined the Villans from Tottenham in the summer of 2011 after four seasons with the North London club, and he is currently doing some media work. The ‘Scottish Cafu’ started his career at Ibrox, making his debut in 2001 and going on to make 122 appearances before leaving to join Spurs. While Hutton isn’t particularly keen on becoming a coach, he has claimed that he will jump at the chance to work at Rangers or Villa. “I must admit, I never wanted to be a coach but if anythi...
Report: Celtic keen on signing 28-yr-old Championship ace who is available on a bargain
Celtic are keen on signing the Championship keeper Marcus Bettinelli this summer. The Fulham ace broke into the England setup last year and he could be available on a bargain because of his contract situation. Bettinelli has just one year left on his deal. As per Daily Mail, the player could be signed for just £1m. The 28-year-old has been quite impressive for Fulham and he could be a superb addition to Neil Lennon’s side. The report claims that Celtic have suffered a setback in their pursuit of Fraser Forster and Bettnelli is now an alternate option for them. It will be interesting to see if they can lure the player to Parkhead this summer. The Fulham keeper is thought to be keen on a new challenge. Celtic need to bring in a quality number one and they cannot afford to take any risks...
‘Sick of signing these nobodies’: Some Celtic fans react after knowing who Lennon wants to sign
Celtic fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to express their reaction to reports linking the club with a move for Rapid Vienna midfielder Dejan Ljubicic. According to a recent report from the Daily Mail, Celtic are one of the clubs interested in signing Ljubicic this summer. The report claims that the in-demand 22-year-old midfielder is also wanted by Championship outfit Brentford. The Bees are weighing up a move for Ljubicic. However, Celtic have also discussed a move for the midfielder who has also attracted interest from clubs in Russia and Germany. Many Celtic fans feel that Ljubicic won’t be a good move for the Scottish champions as they already have plenty of midfielders, and the club should look to bolster other areas of the pitch. Here are som...
Report: Celtic want to sign Gareth Southgate’s godson this summer
According to the Chronicle, Celtic are interested in bringing Newcastle United goalkeeper Freddie Woodman to Parkhead this summer. The 23-year-old is currently on a season-long loan with English Championship side Swansea City and is expected to go out on another loan next term after the Magpies signed former Motherwell goalie Mark Gillespie. Celtic want to sign a goalkeeper after Fraser Forster returned to Southampton following the end of his loan deal at Parkhead and vowed to fight for his place at St. Mary’s, and Woodman could be their man. The England youth international knows all about the Scottish Premiership having had loan stints at Kilmarnock and Aberdeen, and he has proven his quality at Swansea all over again. He is hoping to get a call-up to the national team from his godfather ...
‘One of the best’ – Former Celtic star heaps praise on 75-cap Int’l linked with Parkhead move
Celtic have been linked with a move for Joe Hart recently. The 75-cap England international is a free agent right now and it will be interesting to see if Celtic decide to snap him up. Initially, the Hoops were expected to sign Fraser Forster from Southampton but the deal has not worked out yet. Hart is thought to be an alternative. The former Manchester City keeper has regressed a lot over the last few seasons and his signing would be a bit of a gamble for Celtic. That said, he used to be a top-class keeper and if he manages to regain his confidence and form, he could turn into a real bargain for Neil Lennon’s side. Also, Hart is only 33 and for a goalkeeper that is hardly a worry. He could sort out Celtic’s goalkeeping situation for the next few years. Former Celtic star Jonathan Gould h...
Report: Leeds plotting an ‘ambitious move’ for in-demand 22 y/o Newcastle target
Leeds United are edging closer to securing promotion to the Premier League. The Whites earned a fantastic 3-1 victory against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday and cemented their position at the top of the Championship table. It seems they have already started preparing for the summer transfer window. Patrick Bamford has scored 15 goals this season, but he can’t be relied upon to deliver week in week out in the Premier League. And Leeds are highly unlikely to buy Jean Kevin-Augustin on a permanent deal by spending more than £17m. According to latest reports from The Mirror, Leeds are plotting an ambitious move for Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard. If the Whites secure promotion, which looks more likely, they would make a serious attempt to sign the 22-year-old who has enjoyed a phenomen...
Report: Celtic plotting move for 29-yr-old ace who has been linked with Rangers
Celtic are thought to be keen on the former St Mirren keeper Vaclav Hladky. Neil Lennon’s side are on the lookout for a new keeper and the move for Fraser Forster has proven to be difficult. The Saints ace was on loan at Celtic this past season and the Hoops want to sign him permanently. However, the finances involved have complicated the deal. As per Football Insider, Hladky is an alternative to Forster. It will be interesting to see if Celtic make their move for the 29-year-old now. The Czech keeper is a free agent right now and he could prove to be a superb addition for a bargain. He has done well in the SPL over the last year and a half. He has been linked with Rangers as well. Celtic need to sign a quality keeper and it remains to be seen who they end up with. They will be going for t...
Sutton claims Celtic ‘should not touch’ 75-cap international linked with them this summer
Former Celtic player Chris Sutton has urged the club not to sign Joe Hart this summer. The 75-cap England international is a free agent and he has been linked with the Hoops recently. However, Sutton claims that Hart is past his peak and he would be a major gamble if Celtic decided to sign him. He has urged the Hoops to move to Fraser Forster indeed. Sutton said to Daily Record: “Why would Celtic, whether he cost money or a free transfer, want to spend big wages on Hart? He’s not the keeper that he was. He’s 33 years old, maybe he could come up and resurrect his career but Celtic cannot afford to take a gamble this season. That would be a gamble to sign Hart, looking at the form which he has been in. It hasn’t been good enough and Celtic cannot afford slip-ups.&nbs...

Celtic have submitted a bid for the Brest midfielder Haris Belkebla. The 26-year-old has been linked with a move to Rangers as well recently. As per Le Buteur, Celtic have put forward an interesting offer for the player and Belkebla is keen on a move abroad. However, the Ligue 1 side are not keen on a transfer and it will be interesting to see if Celtic or Rangers can change their mind. Belkebla is a central midfielder but he can operate as a defensive midfielder as well. Celtic need someone like him as the long term alternative to Scott Brown. The Celtic star is past his peak and he will need to be phased out soon. Belkebla could prove to be a good signing for the Scottish giants for the right price. It remains to be seen how Brest deal with their reported offer. The French club migh...
