Brendan Rodgers has revealed that Celtic have received an offer for Emilio Izaguirre.

Celtic enforced a one year option on his contract towards the end of last season but with Kieran Tierney established as first choice left-back opportunities for the Honduran internationalist are limited.

Izaguirre joined Celtic in 2010 when Neil Lennon was in charge and bar injury was first choice left-back until early in the 2015/16 season.

The 31-year-old is still a regular in the Honduras side and will be keen to help his country to reach a third successive World Cup Finals next summer.

Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday were linked with the defender last season but a move to a Spanish club is more likely.

Unlike many other imports Izaguirre and his family settled quickly in the Glasgow area with no reports of unrest despite dropping out of the first team.

Izaguirre was an unused substitute in Celtic’s 2-0 win over Linfield.
