Former Celtic defender Erik Sviatchenko is in line for a dramatic return to Parkhead.
It’s understood the 29-year-old former Invincible is on a list of potential transfer targets for new boss Ange Postecoglou.
Sviatchenko is currently playing with Midtjylland, who ironically Celtic could be drawn against on Wednesday morning in the Champions League second qualifying round.
But it’s believed the centre-back has unfinished business in Glasgow.
He returned to his native Denmark in 2018 – first on loan before sealing a permanent transfer in a £1million deal.
As well as playing his part in the Invincibles campaign in Brendan Rodgers' debut season at Celtic, Sviatchenko won two titles, two League Cups and the Scottish Cup.
The defender has since gone on to feature in Mitjylland’s first ever Champions League campaign last season although the club lost their domestic title by just one point last term.
Celtic face a significant rebuilding process this summer as they look to respond from the chaotic collapse last season.
But with the clock ticking as Postecoglou prepares to begin his managerial reign – the players who are not involved in international football are due to return to the pre-season on Friday – there could be an attraction in returning to a player who already knows the culture around the club.
Sviatchenko, under contract until 2014, is understood to have a buy-out clause at Midtjylland while there is also believed to have been interest in him from the English Premier League.
