Hoops beat rivals in Brozek chase

Sun, 29 Jan 18:40:40 2012

Neil Lennon has confirmed Celtic's transfer coup over Old Firm rivals Rangers with the signing of Ibrox target Pawel Brozek from Trabzonspor.

Rangers manager Ally McCoist confirmed his interest in the Polish striker over the weekend but the Parkhead club have agreed terms with the player and subject to a medical he will sign on loan until the end of the season, with a permanent deal on the table.

The Celtic boss was speaking at Hampden after Anthony Stokes scored twice in the Hoops' 3-1 Scottish Communities League Cup semi-final win over Falkirk to set up a final meeting with Kilmarnock.

"I know Rangers were interested but we have been involved with players before and Rangers have nipped in," said Lennon.

"I am not saying we have nipped in, but we have been tracking him for quite a while. We have tried to keep it under the radar.

"I have not seen him yet but if he does come in I will be delighted."

  1. Paul Hartley, Scott McDonald, etc, I could go on.
    Yet­ another player that Celtic have had no interest in­ untill it becomes clear that Rangers are going to bid­ for the player. It's not a case of this being a­ player that Lennon really wanted, more a case of making­ sure that he didn't sign for Rangers and possibly­ strenthen their squad.
    I feel sorry for the guy.­ He'll be lucky to start even one game for Celtic.

  5. Now now Graeme, you are starting to sound like a bitter­ and twisted man! Just remember that the vast majority­ of us Scots have never heard of this bloke! Does this­ mean that Lennon might be losing Hooper before­ tomorrow's deeadline?
