Jason Denayer is now on the market as a free agent after his contract at Saudi Pro League side, Al Fateh, has been terminated by mutual consent…

Our former star enjoyed a spell at Celtic Park back in the 2014/15 season when Ronny Deila brought him to Paradise on a loan deal from his parent club, Manchester City.
Denayer played alongside Virgil van Dijk at Celtic
The Belgian centre-back was outstanding for Deila and his Hoops team that year, forging a solid defence bedrock with now Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk, who went on to have phenomenal success in the game after his spell at Celtic. Both players helped Deila secure a double that season and the Norwegian wanted to bring Denayer back again the following year.
It wasn’t to be however, as his profile had been raised substantially after his campaign with the Hoops and many teams were interested in acquiring the Belgian defender’s talents. He would go on to sign for Galatasaray in the aftermath of his stint with the Scottish Champions, then onto Lyon and of course Saudi Arabia, where he has just left this window.

The 29-year-old former Celt is on the lookout for a new club
The 29-year-old is on the lookout for a new club and there is one in Glasgow! Now at this juncture of his career and carries with him a wealth of experience both domestically and internationally. Brendan Rodgers is keen to bolster his squad this month with several players and it’s been reported that the club are looking at defensive reinforcements in the central area.
Perhaps Denayer would be worth taking a look at?

Yes! Get it done!
This would be one that really would fill a major need.
Defence is the area most neglected by those in charge at Celtic.
It is, as DON says, “a major need”.
