Desailly told the Daily Record "A number of Premiership clubs want me to sign but I don't want to play against my old club Chelsea. I would like the chance to play for Celtic, if they want me, because I have watched them over the last couple of years and I like the way they play.
"I also know about Martin O'Neill and I believe I could work with a manager like him.
"At this stage in my life it's about wanting to play with another big team with high ambitions because I know I have at least one, maybe two good years left and I think Celtic would be ideal.
"They are in the Champions League, they want to progress and I could help them do that."
