The press has been abuzz with the news that former Real Madrid legend Iker Casillas is due to leave on a free from our old enemies Porto.

The Porto number 2 hasn’t seen game time since October and the Portuguese team want him off their books so as not to fall afoul of Fifa fair play rules.

Oh if only those rules applied to the west of Scotland.

But I digress, Casillas would be an amazing coup for Celtic, the shot-stopper is 36 years old and according to reports in the Mirror, he is looking at clubs at the level of West Bromwich Albion.

The same report claims he will go without wages until the window opens so as to facilitate a free transfer.

This should alert Celtic to a world-class player who if he was brought in could chase trophies instead of midtable obscurity.

There is surely no harm in asking, he has made his millions, now what does he want from a trip to Britain?

Trophies and the best fans on earth, or more money and picking the ball out of his net against teams he once laughed at in the Champions League?
