Celtic have once again been linked with a move for free agent Robbie Brady, with Ange Postecoglou quizzed on the Irishman on Thursday evening, The Scotsman report.
The Lowdown: Previous Brady links
The Hoops were linked with a summer move for the 29-year-old back in February when Neil Lennon was still in charge at Celtic Park.
Reports then suggested that Celtic actually wanted Brady in the summer of 2020 before he penned a one-year extension at Burnley.
The left midfielder’s release from Turf Moor was confirmed back in May, which once again led to rumours of a move to Glasgow.
Brady, who was once hailed by Roy Keane, has scored 35 goals during his professional career and is still without a club.

The Latest: Postecoglou quizzed
Postecoglou spoke to the media following Celtic’s 3-0 win over Jablonec on Thursday evening and was asked about transfers.
The Hoops boss was asked specifically about Brady, reported by The Scotsman, to which he said:
“I haven’t talked specifically about him. Nothing’s really happened yet where I can say that someone has signed for me.”

The Verdict: Sign?
Celtic have already brought one experienced free agent to the club in James McCarthy, so bringing another in Brady could be a shrewd move.
Keane hailed Brady’s set-piece delivery for Ireland back in 2017, and the 29-year-old could also provide cover for Postecoglou at left-back.
He has 160 games of Premier League experience to his name, along with 57 caps for his country, so you’d expect he’ll be able to find a new club relatively soon.
Celtic want another winger this summer, and although Brady’s primary position is a left-midfielder and not a winger, he could be a smart signing with his experience, versatility and dead-ball quality.
