Kelvin Wilson has urged Brendan Rodgers to bring Gary Hooper back to Celtic.
The former Hoops striker, 35, is currently a free agent and is on the hunt for a new club after recently playing his football in the UAE, Cyprus, New Zealand and India.
Hooper is now hoping to return to British football and Wilson believes his former club Celtic could do with the striker's experience in their squad.
Wilson told The Sun: “I know you look at Celtic, and the players they can bring in, but I wouldn’t be surprised with Gary.
“Hoops could be a back-up player there and still score many goals for Celtic.
“I don’t understand why anyone would question it. That’s my opinion.
“Gary knows the club inside out and the fans absolutely love him.
“It’s a no-brainer for me. He wouldn’t cost them anything, so yes!
“For sure he’d take that opportunity, he’d snatch your hand off for it.”
Hooper starred last night for a Celtic seniors side last night as took home the top scorer award at the Masters Football event at Braehead Arena.
He was asked about his future and added: “I played for one of the biggest clubs in the world, biggest fan-base.
“I loved my three years up here and, hopefully, if Brendan’s watching I could retire at Celtic…on the bench.”
