A social media interchange between Victor Wanyama and new Celtic signing Alistair Johnston has got fans thinking.

Johnston was recently announced on a five-year deal by Ange Postecoglou's side are some impressive performances at the World Cup in Qatar.

After the deal was confirmed, the defender revealed how Hoops hero Wanyama had played a starring role in the transfer being agreed.

And now in an Instagram tease, Wanyama has been touted for a sensational Parkhead return.

Johnston is currently on holiday at Lake Como and he captioned a picture on his Instagram: "So from what I'm told...this ISN'T paradise?? Seems pretty decent to be fair."

Wanyama replied: "Paradise is where you will be playing." before Johnston chipped in again "Where 'we' will be playing" alongside the eyes emoji.

The cryptic tweet comes as Wanyama announced he would be coming out of international retirement for Kenya.

The 31-year-old hung up his playing boots for his country last year but has since u-turned on that decision.

He has been capped 64 times for Kenya and had decided to call time on playing for his nation after being left out of a World Cup qualifying squad last September.

However, the country's head coach Jacob Mulee has since departed the role, and Wanyama has now confirmed he is once again available for selection.

The news was announced by Kenyan minister for Sport, Ababu Namwamba, who made the news public on social media.

He tweeted: "I’m delighted Victor Wanyama has agreed to return fully to Harambee Stars, rescinding his earlier decision to exit the team.

“In our mission to rebuild our football and elevate our national teams, our elite players must be at the heart of this renaissance. Ogada Olunga too is in.”
