Former England central defender Sol Campbell is in Glasgow with a view to signing for Celtic.

The 35-year-old will spend the day looking around Celtic's stadium and the club's Lennoxtown training ground.

Campbell spent five years with Arsenal before moving to Portsmouth, returning for a second spell with the Gunners in January on a short-term deal.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon is keen to make Campbell his first summer signing as he looks to rebuild the squad.

Last season, under Tony Mowbray, Celtic sold centre-half Gary Caldwell and loaned captain and central defender Stephen McManus to Middlesbrough.

Lennon has recalled McManus from the Championship side, and if Campbell does sign for Celtic he will join Dutch pair Glenn Loovens and Jos Hooiveld, Norwegian Thomas Rogne and Irishman Darren O'Dea in competing for a starting place.

With Hooiveld, Rogne and O'Dea featuring only intermittently for Celtic, Campbell would bring years of experience to the team's back line.

He played 73 times for England and has made almost 500 appearances for Tottenham, Arsenal and Portsmouth.

Campbell may yet be offered a one-year extension to his stay at the Emirates after impressing in his 14 appearances since returning to London from Pompey.
