# Celtic: Robbie Brady to Swansea all but ruled out

**Free-agent Robbie Brady, who has been [linked](https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/celtic/ange-postecoglou-talks-possible-celtic-signings-as-he-addresses-robbie-brady-speculation-3345045) with Celtic, seemingly won’t be joining Swansea City, manager [Russell Martin](https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/im-getting-texts-every-day-21563360) has revealed.**

### The Lowdown: Celtic links

The 29-year-old was first linked with a move to the Hoops back in [February](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/6679307/celtic-move-burnley-brady/) when Neil Lennon was still in charge at Parkhead.

Rumours then re-emerged at the end of [May](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/robbie-brady-celtic-transfer-link-20694238) after he parted ways with Burnley, with Ange Postecoglou [quizzed](https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/celtic/ange-postecoglou-talks-possible-celtic-signings-as-he-addresses-robbie-brady-speculation-3345045) specifically on bringing Brady to the club last month.

He remains a [free agent](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/robbie-brady/profil/spieler/128229) despite [links](https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/transfer-news/robbie-brady-transfer-burnley-gaziantep-21452821) of a move to Turkish side Gaziantep, and it seems as if he won’t be making the move to Wales either, perhaps leaving him on the table for the Hoops.

### The Latest: Martin’s comments

Martin, talking to [Wales Online](https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/im-getting-texts-every-day-21563360), was asked about Brady possibly making the move to South Wales.

The Swansea boss labelled the Irishman as ‘brilliant’, however, his comments appeared to rule out a cut-price move for his services.

> “I love Robbie as a guy. He’s brilliant. Fantastic player. Been in the Premier League for the last however long.
>
> “But I haven’t spoken to him. I haven’t spoken to him for a while, being honest.”

### The Verdict: Celtic to swoop?

Brady is capable of playing as a [left or right midfielder and a left-back](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/robbie-brady/profil/spieler/128229) and has [160](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/robbie-brady/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/128229) games of Premier League experience to his name, so he could be a shrewd free transfer by the Hoops, should they make their move.

He’d offer Postecoglou plenty of versatility and experience in Glasgow, with former teammate Paul Robinson believing he would [jump at the chance](https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/sport/19137422.celtic-linked-robbie-brady-jump-chance-join-parkhead-giants-says-ex-teammate/) to play for Celtic.

It could well be a smart target if the Hoops are looking at the free-agent market, with Brady still without a club.
