Jagielka to Celtic? Ex-Everton team-mate doubts free agent switch to Scotland

Phil Jagielka has become a free agent after reaching the end of his contract at Everton, but Steven Naismith is not expecting anything to come of talk regarding a possible switch to Celtic.

A move to the Scottish champions has been mooted for the vastly-experienced defender.

He is now 36 years of age, but is considered to still have something to offer at the top level in domestic football.

Neil Lennon would welcome the opportunity to add the former England international to his ranks but Naismith, who spent four years alongside Jagielka at Goodison Park between 2012 and 2016, cannot see a deal being done.
