Marco Tilio reveals Celtic transfer on the cards for YEARS as inside track sold him on switch despite no Ange chat

Marco Tilio insists he never spoke to former Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou before arriving at the club on a five-year deal.

The ex-Melbourne City attacker signed on the dotted line to become Brendan Rodgers second signing of his second stint in Glasgow, following in the footsteps of Norwegian playmaker Odin Thiago Holm. Aussie Tilio will look to replace the void left by Treble winner Jota who upped sticks for Saudi Arabia last week, banking the Hoops a healthy £25million in the process. The 21-year-old will become an integral part of the new-look Celtic side after the Scottish champions shelved out £1.5m for his signature.

And while there had been some suggestion the winger was a Postecoglou target, Tilio says he first knew of interest from Glasgow some time ago, but insists he never directly conversed with his fellow countryman over a move.
