We explain the links between King Power Stadium and Celtic Park in the midst of Leicester City and Celtic transfer rumours. Talk now consists of two former City heroes being in Scotland after Tuesday's latest news on the subject. Jamie Vardy is the first person who will come to mind when we think of potential Foxes and Hoops connections. In addition to an update on the famous former England striker, we have information on a separate ex-Fox. This one-time Fibert Way star was photographed at Celtic's Lennoxtown Training Ground at the start of the week. Meanwhile Vardy-to-the-Scottish-Premiership speculation has intensified somewhat over the previous two or three days. Obviously quite a few experts observers and fans find it very strange that the LCFC legend is yet to find a new club. This is expecially peculiar when you consider that Europe's top five divisions, as well as the Championship, have already restarted. Who was with old City head coach Brendan Rodgers at the Glasgow outfit's facilities, and why? And is Vards heading to the stadium known as 'Paradise' by its faithful?

Premier League-winner Marc Albrighton received 'a VIP tour of Lennoxtown' following and invitation from Rodgers. Albrighton is currently working at childhood club Aston Villa as a coach.

The retired winger was reportedly there to learn about the Scots side's training methods. Maybe the 35-year-old will take what he sees back to the Villans' Academy. Alternatively, it was a mere social rendezvous.
Jamie Vardy-to-Scotland talk increases and becomes more expectant
If you weren't already aware, Vardy has supposedly chosen his next destination, if they'll have him. Of course, I think Celtic should go for Vards - it may be destiny!

That's if chatter suggesting the centre forward wants to play for the Bhoys is accurate. However, as of yet nothing concrete about personal terms has emerged.
