Kolo Toure looks set to reunite with Brendan Rodgers at Celtic.
The 35-year-old worked under Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool and is close to completing a free transfer to the Scottish outfit to provide some much needed cover in defence.
If he passes his medical on Saturday, he will be available for Wednesday's Champions League qualifier against FC Astana.
The general consensus among Celtic supporters is that it's a very positive signing and although Toure may have lost a yard or two of pace in recent seasons, he'll bring a lot of experience to the team. After all, he has over 100 caps for the Ivory Coast, was part of the "Invincibles" Arsenal side that went a full season unbeaten and was one of the brighter sparks for Liverpool in the Europa League final in May.

However, there is one major concern among the football community over the prospect of Toure going to Celtic - will the supporters keep try to resurrect
that chant (don't act like you don't know the one we're talking about).
Considering that we've only very recently seen that Will Grigg chant spiral out of control, there are genuine fears that the Toure chant could follow suit... again.
