Gordon signs Celtic renewal after collapsed Chelsea deal

The goalkeeper was a target for the Blues during the January transfer window but has committed his future to Brendan Rodgers's side

Craig Gordon has signed a new contract with Celtic that will keep him at the club until June 2020 after a move to Chelsea collapsed in the January transfer window.

The Premier League leaders had identified the 34-year-old as the ideal back-up for Thibaut Courtois in case Asmir Begovic left for Bournemouth, but Chelsea had two bids knocked back by Celtic.

Gordon has now made the decision to commit his long-term future to Celtic instead and will stay put for an additional three seasons.
