Defender claims he claim close to signing for the Hoops
KAA Gent defender Marko Suler has claimed he came close to joining Celtic last summer.
The Slovenia international was strongly linked with a move to the SPL giants but a switch failed to materialise.
Suler has confirmed he thought a deal was in the offing, but concedes he was ultimately happy to remain in Belgium.
He told Nogomania: "Everything was agreed and I really don't know why the transfer was cancelled.
"But I must admit that I wasn't really too eager to move. Mainly because of my family.
"A transfer like this is a big step, which leads to a completely different lifestyle. I think that I was right."
