Nir Bitton has turned down a move to Maccabi Tel Aviv, according to a report.
The midfielder left Celtic at the end of last season as one of the club's most decorated players ever after picking up 18 major trophies with the Parkhead side including eight Premiership titles, four Scottish Cups and six League cup triumphs.
The Israel international - who is now a free agent after nine years at the Hoops - is considering offers in his homeland as well as other European clubs but he has rejected a first offer from Maccabi Tel Aviv reports Mark Walker via the Daily Record. The Bloomfield Stadium club outfit are now considering whether to return to the table with improved terms for the midfielder, who can also play at the back.
