Cristian Gamboa offered deal as Celtic exit draws closer

Celtic fringe man Cristian Gamboa has been offered a return to his homeland of Costa Rica.

The full-back has been presented with a deal by Deportiva Alajuelense.

Gamboa has never managed to establish himself at Celtic and made just 16 league starts in his three years at the club. He last featured for Celtic in a 1-1 draw at Motherwell in December.

The 29-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and the former West Brom, Rosenborg and FC Copenhagen stopper is certain to move on.

And he's been offered a return to Costa Rica by 29-times champions Deportiva Alajuelense.

Gamboa left Costa Rica nine years ago, ironically after being rejected by Deportiva Alajuelense, where he had a trial.

He's won 70 caps for his country, but failed to ever nail down a regular spot at Celtic, where he was usually back-up to Mikael Lustig , who also looks set to leave Glasgow this summer.

Gamboa has scored just one goal in his club career - for Norwegian club Fredrikstad eight years ago, but has netted three for his country.
