Celtic hero urges Hoops to sign Premier League striker
The 32-year-old is a free agent after leaving another of McAvennie's old clubs, West Ham, and has been mentioned as one the Hoops could potentially look at. He previously played under Rodgers at Liverpool and the Northern Irishman is believed to be keen on beefing up his centre forward options. McAvennie is a big fan and reckons Ings would finally be a replacement for Kyogo, who left in January. The pundit believes Adam Idah has a big future for Celts but isn't ready to play all of the time, while he prefers to see Daizen Maeda used wide. Read more: Speaking to on the Let Me Be Frank podcast, he said: "He would be a great signing for Celtic. We never replaced Kyogo. They haven't replaced him. "Adam Idah is learning. I think he is going to be a wonderful player. Not near the finished article yet. But he is a great player. Looks like an honest boy. "I think so (there is a future for Idah at Celtic). See if you sign someone like Danny Ings. Danny won't play every game, which will mean Adam will come in. "And I don't want to play Maeda through the middle. I think he is better on the wing, although he scores a lot of goals. I think he is better out there. He terrifies people. "Danny Ings would come in and play, even if he played an hour. Get Adam on, that's the way it's going to be."

Credit: Instagram McAvennie was at swanky Mar Hall hotel for a golf day, while Minogue was staying there ahead of her show at the Hydro in Glasgow. But it transpires that Macca and Kylie used to hang out together at Browns nightclub in London, even getting a lock-in from time to time alongside fellow regulars such as Duran Duran. McAvennie was a key part of a fine West Ham side at the turn of the 90s, while Kylie was reeling off a string of hit records. But their shared backstory was a diverting revelation on the latest Let Me Be Frank podcast, which has Celtic icon Tom Boyd as pre-Scottish Cup final guest. Introducing the topic, host Simon Houston turned to Frank and said: "I feel like you are two-timing me!" Boyd chipped in: "He's never done that before!" Houston continued: "Anyone looking at the internet over the weekend would have seen you speaking to somebody else." McAvennie said: "My wee pal Kylie! "I had met her before. "In the 90s, Browns nightclub. Celtic legend Frank McAvennie 'lucky to be alive' after sleeping driver ploughs into his car "I met her a couple of times when we were all in there, staying behind, all the regulars. Duran Duran, it was great." Mischievously Houston asks: "Did she stay behind especially for you? "No, seriously, did she remember you?" McAvennie replied: "No, she said she can't remember a lot about Browns the nightclub but she knows she was there a lot. "I said I can't remember the 90s either! No, she was lovely." Boyd chipped in again, saying: "I wish I should be so lucky." McAvennie has said previously: "I only ever used to frequent a couple during my time in London: Stringfellow's and Browns."
