Celts To Move For Old Bhoy Maloney

Maloney has failed to make much of an impression since reuniting with former Bhoys boss Martin O’Neill at Villa Park, having made just 18 starts so far following his ₤1million move in January 2007.

The 25-year-old has been consistently linked with a return to Glasgow after admitting he has failed to settle in England, with both Old Firm clubs reported to be interested.

And News of the World reports that Celtic will offer key defender Lee Naylor – a Villa target – and a nominal fee to bring the Malaysian-born attacker back to Parkhead.

Maloney has two years remaining on his current deal with the Villans, who value him at ₤4million, while Naylor has been speculatively linked with a return to England after impressing during his first couple of seasons with the Bhoys.

Would only want him back if A: The price as right and most importantly B: He publicly admits he was wrong to leave
