Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon admits he was tempted by a January offer from Chelsea.

Gordon was subject of multiple bids from Chelsea but the Scottish giants rejected every one.

“I'm playing (at Celtic)," he told the Evening Times. “There is no guarantee of playing games down there. I could have done, I might not have done.

“The fact I'm playing, winning, having the opportunity to play in the Champions League and winning those matches, I was desperate to do it.

“That's why I came here in the first place. I've had a little taste of it and I'd love to get back there and have some more.

“The fact I've been to Sunderland and have played at most of the Premier League grounds, not that I've ticked it all off as it's an incredible league.

"It was attractive, but at the same time, there was a lot going for the option to stay."
