The Welsh internationalist is out of contract at Cardiff and is making his mind up between offers from Stoke and Celtic. The 23-year-old was offered a contract by Stoke manager Tony Pulis before he came to Glasgow to speak to Neil Lennon about a move to Parkhead.

Celtic's chief executive Peter Lawwell said: "You can be very confident about Joe Ledley coming to Celtic Football Club." Ledley could be confirmed as a Bhoys player within the next 24 hours after he was named in the squad for the pre-season tour of the USA.
