Jagielka will be exiting the Merseyside c♑lub when his contac🃏t expires at the end of June and will be available on a free transfer for any potential suitors.

A selection of Celtic fans are convinced that signing him would be a ba♍ckwards step and feelꩵ he’s too old.

Manager Neil Lennon is looking to assemble a squad that can go in search of more silverware♐ next season, where they are bidding for a ninth straight league title.

They could do with another reinforcem🌳ent in the heart of defence, but an overwhelming response from supporters if that they avoid theღ Everton ace who turns 37 in August.
