Kirk Broadfoot has revealed he almost signed for Celtic before going on to win trophies with Rangers.
The defender joined his boyhood club in 2007 and impressing in defence for St Mirren. With his deal in Paisley months from expiring, Broadfoot penned a pre-contract agreement to sign for the Gers the following summer. The seeds were sewn at Ibrox after Broadfoot had a stormer against them for the Buddies a week before the end of the January transfer window.
Paul Le Guen was manager at the time and Broadfoot thought his chances of a move to Govan had been dashed. However, Walter Smith returned for a second spell to replace the Frenchman and was still keen to do the deal. The move went through on 1 July 2007 and Broadfoot was key part of the squad that went all the way to the 2008 UEFA Cup final. The Gers lost to Zenit St Petersburg in the Manchester final.
