Incoming Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is already looking back at his former Leicester City charges as he looks to bolster his squad, TEAMtalk understands.

Former Town defender Frank Yallop can be held partly responsible for the USAs fine performance at the World Cup. Striker Landon Donovan is one of Yallops San Jose Earthquakes squad which is currently topping the MLS Western Conference as they attempt to hold on to their title.

The 50-year-old is closing in on a dramatic return to Glasgow.

The formerly all-conquering Parkhead manager is the frontrunner to succeed Ange Postecoglou.

Ange Postecoglou is reportedly planning to try and sign Kyogo Furuhashi for Tottenham - and interest in the attacker will come as no surprise to Celtic.

Celtic is ready to turn to a familiar face to succeed Ange Postecoglou. BBC Sport reports the team is in advanced negotiations with former manager Brendan Rodgers to once again take the reins at Parkhead.

If you fail to prepare, then you should be prepared to fail. Alex McLeish knows that only too well at Ibrox.

The Bodo/Glimt manager is among a host of names being linked to the vacant Parkhead job.

Celtic are reportedly closing in on Odin Thiago Holm after striking a deal with his current employer Valerenga.

Celtic are reported to have opened negotiations with Sunderland regarding the signing of former Town loanee Daryl Murphy. The Blues are also understood to be keen to add the Irish international to their striking options for next season.
