Talking to Sky Sports, Given revealed that that could be in the Scottish Premier League: “It’s no secret I’m a big Celtic supporter and have been all my life. I don’t know what their goalkeeping situation is, Fraser Forster had a very good season up there and there has been talk of him moving on a permanent basis so we would have to wait and see. But it is a fantastic club with fantastic supporters.
“Ideally, I would like to be playing but it’s out of my hands. If Manchester City want me, I’ve got another two years left on my contract. I don’t really know what’s going to happen…[Celtic] is a great club, with an unbelievable history, so I wouldn’t look at it as a step down. It’s a fantastic club but it’s too soon to say what’s going to happen or if that’s going to happen. But you never say never when Celtic come calling.”
