Celtic-bound Vasilios Barkas spotted in Glasgow ahead of £5.5million move to Hoops

Celtic-bound Vasilios Barkas has been spotted in Glasgow ahead of his £5.5million move to the Scottish champions.

The 26-year-old 'keeper is expected to sign for the Parkhead club shortly and could join up with his new teammates ahead of this weekend's league opener against Hamilton Accies.

Barkas arrived into Glasgow Airport on Tuesday evening ahead of his move, which is subject to a medical.

The AEK Athens goalkeeper is expected to sign a four year deal with Neil Lennon's side.

Barkas has impressed for AEK on the domestic front, and in the Champions League, in recent seasons. He is also a full Greece international, and has been attracting interest from European big guns such as Roma in recent seasons.

Lennon quickly identified the 26-year-old as a target after missing out on a deal for Fraser Forster earlier this summer.
