Experienced Star to Remain at Celtic Long-Term- Report

According to Glasgow Live, Kolo Toure is looking to extend his time at Celtic Football Club by signing a new deal with the club.  Kolo, the brother of Yaya, has been at the club since the summer after Liverpool decided not to resign him for this campaign.

Brendan Rodgers brought Toure in because of his experience and his presence in the dressing room.  Last season, he occasionally had filled in brilliantly for Liverpool when he was needed.  He helped lead Jurgen Klopp’s side just as he had done when Rodgers was there.

Rodgers is keen to continue to keep Toure, and the club are apparently willing to help his with his coaching licenses in order to persuade him to stay.  Rodgers called Toure ‘a good guy’ to have in the dressing room, and there’s no doubt about that as all of his teammates seem to love the big guy.

With his entire family moved in in Scotland, this should happen fairly soon.  Look for that smile to be reappearing during Champions League games into next season!
