Chelsea increase offer for Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon

Chelsea have made a second bid for Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon, thought to be in the region of £3.5m.

The Premier League leaders' initial bid for the Scotland goalie was rejected last week by Celtic, who say they do not want to sell the 34-year-old.

Speaking after Celtic's defeat of Hearts on Sunday, manager Brendan Rodgers dismissed Chelsea's interest.

"We don't want him to go. There's not a credible offer that would make us even consider it," he told BBC Scotland.

"Our plan it to keep Craig here, to be very much a plan of what we're doing over the next few years.
