Celtic fans have had a mixed reaction to links with Danny Simpson, after his release from Leicester City.

Celtic boss Neil Lennon is said to be set to take Simpson on trial next week by the Scottish Sun, as he weighs up whether to bring the defender to Parkhead.

Celtic are desperate for a right-back, as they are so short in the position right now.

But the links with Simpson have not been unanimously popular with Celtic fans.

While some of the Parkhead crowd think he could still do a job for Lennon’s side, others think that there are better players available.

Simpson is now 32, so is reaching the twilight of his career.

He would, however, offer Celtic plenty of experience having played a key role in helping Leicester win the Premier League.

If Celtic are to sign Simpson he would have an opportunity to walk straight into their starting line-up, as Lennon doesn’t have many other options to play at right-back currently.
