Brendan Rodgers has responded to reports of a possible reunion with Jamie Vardy at Celtic.
The Parkhead boss was quizzed on whether the club were in talks with the former Leicester City striker over a free transfer move to Scotland.
Vardy, 38, had been linked with a switch to Celtic last week, with reports suggesting he would "love" to sign for Celtic and work under Rodgers again.
However, the Celtic boss refused to be drawn on the transfer speculation as he ruled out discussing individual players during the summer transfer window.
Rodgers did, though, hail "brilliant" Vardy as he reminisced over their time together at Leicester in the Premier League.

"Listen, I will not speak about any individual player," said Rodgers.
"Of course, I worked really well with Jamie; he was brilliant for me in my time at Leicester.
"But no, there have been so many names floated about, but I wouldn't disclose either way."
On whether he's hopeful of strengthening his squad by tomorrow night's tie, Rodgers added: "Well, that's what I'm feeling at this moment in time.
"Yeah, so the players that we have will be the players that I trust that can do the job, and if we can get some players in before then, then that would be amazing.
"But the focus has been very much on what is here at this moment."
