Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon agrees new three-and-a-half-year contract after failed Chelsea bids

Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon has agreed terms on a new three-and-a-half-year contract and will put pen to paper this week.

An enhanced package for the shot-stopper was prioritised by manager Brendan Rodgers in January after the club rejected two bids from Chelsea before the mid-season transfer deadline.

The Scotland keeper signed for Celtic in the summer of 2014 after two years spent out of the game battling a knee injury and has been operating on terms significantly reduced from those he enjoyed at previous club Sunderland, whom he joined from Hearts for a fee of £9million in 2007.
