Leicester chasing Celtic pair McGregor, Tierney

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers plans on raiding his former Celtic side for players in the summer window.

Rodgers enjoyed an excellent career at Parkhead, but things turned sour when he opted to leave the club in the middle of the season for Leicester. Tensions could be expected to escalate further this summer if the Daily Express is correct.

Rodgers is a big admirer of both left-back Kieran Tierney and attacking midfielder Callum McGregor and could make moves for the pair.

Boyhood Celtic fan Tierney, 22, has long been linked with a move to the Premier League having been a key player for the Hoops for four seasons.

A three-time PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year in both the Players' and Writers' categories, academy graduate Tierney is a fans' favourite having occasionally captained the club under Rodgers.
