Paradise no rest home when you look after No.1s

CELTIC may have lured two Premier League legends to Glasgow late in their careers.
But Shay Given is adamant Parkhead is no retirement home for goalkeeping royalty.
Veterans Joe Hart and Kasper Schmeichel both conquered English football but couldn't resist the pull of Paradise.
Manchester City favourite Hart rediscovered his love for the game during three trophy-laden years before hanging up the gloves last summer.
His successor might be 38 but Schmeichel isn't done yet. The Leicester City title-winner has signed up for a second season with the champions and still looks hungry for more.
While Celts continue to unearth hidden gems from across the continent, in recent years there has been a clear strategy of choosing an experienced head between the sticks.
However, Republic of Ireland icon Given has rejected the idea Celtic Park is a graveyard for big names to wind down.
