Celtic have reportedly offered 1.25million with 500,000 in add-ons for the Republic of Ireland central defender – well short of Preston's 3 million valuation of the 25-year-old.

Preston chairman Derek Shaw said: "Celtic's offer was way below our valuation. Sean is an established internationalist and players of his calibre come at a price."
