He told talkSPORT: “I can see it in Brendan’s eyes, yeah. Because that’s probably where he wants to be.

“Obviously it suited him to go back to Celtic because the Leicester ship was sinking and he didn’t fancy that any more. And when he left Celtic, the Leicester opportunity was bigger than the Celtic opportunity and he didn’t fancy that one at Celtic anymore.

“So he probably doesn’t fancy it at Celtic anymore and probably fancies it at somewhere in the Premier League. I’m curious to see why Marinakis is a huge admirer of Brendan.

“That would be a curious situation to have explained to me, exactly what he admires about Brendan, in conjunction with Nottingham Forest doing something meaningful in the Premier League.”
