Jamie Vardy to Celtic transfer can't be ruled out amid 'box office' endorsement
The Leicester City legend is a free agent and is still to decide his next move after departing the Foxes at the end of last season Andy Walker believes Jamie Vardy would be a 'box office' addition to Celtic and would not rule out his old club making a swoop. The Leicester City hero remains on the hunt for his next club and new chapter in his career after bringing his 13 seasons at the King Power Stadium to a close at the end of last season. During his time with the Foxes he earned legendary status and lifted the English Premier League title, FA Cup, Community Shield and two English Championship crowns. He's also experienced Champions League football - an attractive option Brendan Rodgers and Co could have on the table once more if they successfully negotiate their two-legged play-off tie. Rodgers - formally of Leicester - has been vocal on his need for quality additions and a new striker is high on the wish list. Over the years the likes of Jermain Defoe, Craig Bellamy and Robbie Keane have swapped England's top flight for stints north of the border and Walker wonders if Vardy would be next to fancy a year in Glasgow's east end. Speaking on Go Radio, he said: "I also wonder about Jamie Vardy. Obviously Brendan Rodgers knows him well and he's been linked with Rangers. "You remember years ago when the likes of Jermain Defoe came up to Rangers and showed what he was all about and still had the quality. "He's starting XI ready and has all the experience and I think he still has the fitness. "Would he fancy a year up here with Champions League football? I wouldn't rule it out. He would be box office. Great player. "Robbie Keane had a spell at Celtic as well and scored a few goals. "I think the attraction of Champions League football and this mystique that they have down south of Celtic and Rangers going head to head. "I think we are all expecting it to be a bit closer and tighter this year. "Celtic will still be favourites, I have no doubt about that, but it is a great sell for anyone."

'This is our time': Palmer-Brown and Panathinaikos target Rangers comeback
Erik Palmer-Brown claimed Panathinaikos are 'really confident' they can overturn a 2-0 deficit at home to Rangers in the second leg of their Champions League qualifier in Athens on Wednesday. The Greeks went down 2-0 at Ibrox last Tuesday as Russell Martin's side seized the initiative in the battle to set up a third qualifying round clash with Viktoria Plzen or Servette. But American defender Palmer-Brown is adamant the Greeks are still firmly in the tie and can get the victory required to oust the William Hill Premiership side. 'I think we have to be ready, this is our time,' he said at his team's pre-match media briefing on Tuesday. 'I think over this last week we all have felt really confident and believe in ourselves to go out there and do what is needed. 'We're playing at our house in front of our fans and we know their expectations and what we expect of ourselves as well. We're going to go out there and give it our all. 'Of course, we know we have to score three goals as of now and we don't plan on giving any up. That's our goal as well, so we've got to go out there and perform at a really high level because we know they're coming to win as well. 'This is a good team and we know that we're going to have to go out there and do our best and give everything we have.' Panathinaikos spurned a series of chances at Ibrox and their cause was not helped by the fact they played the last half-hour with 10 men. 'I think we did a lot of things well but I don't think we finished off our chances that we created and ultimately that hurt us in the end of the game,' said Palmer-Brown. 'I think also on transition we can do better on stopping their two goals. If we put our chances away again that we had, maybe this doesn't happen. But this is football and sometimes it is cruel and you get unlucky sometimes. 'In this game, we need to take advantage of the chances we create, and we will do that.'

Oliver Antman to Rangers transfer hampered by Celtic as Jakob Breum stance made clear by agent
The Glasgow giants are both looking to snap up wingers from the Eredivise outfit this summer Go Ahead Eagles' CEO Jan Willem van Dop had declared that the club will only sell one of Oliver Antman and Jakob Breum this summer. It comes with both Rangers showing interesting in Finnish international Antman - while Celtic have seen bids turned down for Dane Breum already this summer. A fee of around £5million has been reported for Antman after he netted seven goals and an impressive 17 assists to help fire his club to Dutch Cup glory last term. The Eagles are reported to be expecting an offer from the Scottish Premiership side for the 23-year-old. And when speaking to De Oosttribune, Van Dop insisted the club would not sell both of their key men. Asked about interest from the Glasgow giants in Breum and Antman, he responded: "Those are the guys who are in the spotlight. I think one of them will ultimately leave." The comments come after Breum's agent has told the Dutch club his client wants to join Celtic this summer. But the Scottish champions have been warned they must stump up the cash to sign the 21-year-old. The Hoops are in need of reinforcements on the flanks after Nicolas Kuhn joined Como in a £17.2million deal - while Jota is sidelined until next year. Van Dop insists the club won't sell on the cheap - having already knocked back a more substantial bid from FC Twente: "There was a question (from FC Twente), and that was about Jakob Breum. That's negotiable, but only if the price is right. "And we couldn't reach an agreement on that. What I did find positive was that his thoughts were certainly higher than the official offer Celtic ever made. "I've told Celtic that we won't be accepting their offer. I spoke to Breum's agent on the phone Monday morning, and he hopes he'll go that route. "We're certainly not the most difficult club, but it has to be a good fit. "And if we can't reach a financial agreement, we also have the right to say: well, it's not going to happen." Asked if the club had set an asking price in the region of £5.1million, he cryptically added: "We've set a ceiling."
