Josh Doig addresses Celtic summer transfer speculation

Former Hibernian player Josh Doig has opened up on previous transfer links with Celtic.

As the Scottish Premiership champions searched for a back-up left-back to compete with first-choice Greg Taylor during the summer, Doig's name was mentioned as a potential signing.

Brendan Rodgers' opted to sign Alex Valle on loan from Barcelona instead. 

But before then, with the Champions League's homegrown rules very much at the forefront of people's minds, Doig seemed a popular choice among supporters.

His availability alerted several clubs in the summer after he suffered relegation with Sassuolo.

Addressing speculation surrounding his future with 67 Hail Hail, Doig admits he wasn't aware of any concrete discussions with Celtic.

“I didn’t hear anything, to be fair,” Doig said. “Maybe my agent (did) but I’ve not heard anything. He doesn’t tell me anything. I keep away for all that.

“Because of my first transfer window I let it get to my head. I was 18 and was thinking, ‘My God, this is amazing’.

“I was on Twitter every day looking at everything. So after that was thinking I need to stop. So I don’t look at Twitter. I don’t look at anything.

“I only hear something if my pals text me like, ‘You’re going there apparently.’ And I’ll be like, I’ve not heard anything, so it’s not happening!"
