Danny Simpson has revealed he was 'very close' to joining Celtic in 2019 - and blamed the board as the reason the move didn't come to pass.
The former Leicester right-back was a target for Neil Lennon that summer but the move never happened, and the Hoops instead signed Jeremie Frimpong and Moritz Bauer in his position in that window.
Simpson, a former Premier League winner, who had just left the Foxes at the time, instead signed for Huddersfield, but struggled with form and injuries and was let go after one season.
Now retired, Simpson featured against the Hoops in the charity match with Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday. And in an interview with fan site CeltsAreHere, he opened up on the move that didn't happen - as much as he wanted it to at the time.
