Chelsea transfer news: Craig Gordon set to sign new Celtic contract

Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed Craig Gordon is set to sign a new contract next week.

In January, the goalkeeper was wanted by Chelsea who needed cover for Thibaut Courtois following Asmir Begovic’s desire to leave and play first team football.

But Celtic refused to do business and now the 34-year-old appears to be ending any speculation about his future.

"I am led to believe that everything is agreed and done, it is just a case of the formalities, the paperwork and that is it," Parkhead boss Brendan Rodgers said.
