According to Sportime, a Greek news outlet via the Daily Record, the Scottish league leaders were one of 14 teams to watch the player in the top-of-the-table clash with city rivals Panathinaikos. Garcia was unable to find the target in the 0-0 draw which keeps the sides level on points at the top having scored in the previous three league matches.

A 37-time international for Trinidad & Tobago, Garcia, who can play in a different attacking roles, is having the best season of his career to date with 18 goals.

He is currently the league’s second top scorer. For Celtic, he could be a possible option in one of the roles in the front three. Liel Abada could leave in the summer if reports are to be believed with clubs across the continent rumoured to be keen on the Israeli star who has had a fine goal-scoring record since joining the club.
