Bristol Rovers chief Paul Buckle has admitted interest in Yeovil central defender Adam Virgo.
Buckle told the local press the Virgo was “a player I like” as he attempts to strengthen a Rovers defence that couldn’t prevent the club dropping down a division last season.
Virgo, 28, has spent the majority of his career at Brighton where he started over one hundred games in two spells. He was also valued at £1.5 million by Celtic when the Scottish giants took him north in 2006.
Gordon Strachan signed Virgo to fill a position left vacant by Jackie McNamara who moved to Wolves. Unfortunately things didn’t work out too well for the lad because of injuries and the strength of the Celtic squad.
Last season he became a bit of a cult hero down at Yeovil and scored his first goal for the club against … Bristol Rovers.
