Scottish Premier League - Fletcher interest in Celtic switch

Eurosport - Tue, 09 Jun 10:28:00 2009

Hibernian striker Steven Fletcher has revealed his desire to be reunited with Tony Mowbray if the West Brom boss moves to Celtic.

FOOTBALL Hibernian Steven Fletcher - 0

The 22-year-old played under Mowbray during their time together at Easter Road and has cited the Hoops target as a major influence on his career.

Celtic failed with a bid for the highly-rated striker back in January, but Fletcher believes now is the time to quit Hibs for a new challenge.

Speaking of Mowbray, he told the Herald: "He was a massive influence, not just as a manager but as a friend too."

He added: "It's up to the chairman. I want to push myself to further my career and if that means moving on from Hibs, then so be it. I`m ambitious and, if the opportunity comes along again, I think now might be the right time to leave.

"When Celtic were knocked back, I was a bit disappointed but I thought I handled it well. I kept scoring goals. It didn't affect me in a bad way."

  6. Nokturnal, Boloni is manager of Standard Liege.­ He's Romanian. He's won the Belgian League and­ cup this season past, Gulf champions cup with Al­ Jazira, Portuguese league, cup and super cup with­ Sporting Lisbon (where he brought Ricardo Quarisma and­ Cristiano Ronaldo through to the first team) and before­ that won the French league2, with AC Nancy. He was also­ Romania's national coach for a while. So chees, you­ can laugh at his name all you want, but his CV­ ain't too bad.
