Celtic have had a £2.5million bid for Nancy striker Marc-Antoine Fortune accepted and will meet with player and his agent this week for talks on finance. Fortune is new Hoops manager Tony Mowbray’s first transfer target, and he’s keen to resume the relationship that he built up with the forward at West Brom last season. To do that though, Mowbray must beat off competition from Fulham, Hull, Wolves and Portsmouth. |

CELTIC Football Club today announced that Gordon Strachan has decided to stand down from his position as Football Manager.
The Celtic boss, who won six trophies in four years – three league titles, one Scottish Cup and two League Cups – and steered the club to the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League in two consecutive seasons, said today: “I have enjoyed my time immensely at Celtic and clearly I will be sad to leave this great club.
“As I have said before, Celtic is a special club, with special supporters. There is no club like it and it has been an absolute honour and privilege to be the club’s Manager for the past four years.
“We have done all we can to bring success to the Club and we were delighted to deliver three SPL titles, other domestic silverware, as well as making some great progress in Europe.
“It is just disappointing that we did not manage the fourth Championship. However, the players can hold their heads high in terms of what they have done for the club in recent years.
"I would like to thank the Celtic Board for all the support they have given me during the past four years, in particular Dermot Desmond, John Reid, Peter Lawwell and former Chairman Brian Quinn - I could not have asked for any more support.
“I thank all the players I have worked with at the club and, of course, my backroom team for the backing and assistance which they have given me.
“I thank the fans too for the tremendous support which they have given both myself and the players. I wish Celtic and our supporters nothing but success for the future.”
Dermot Desmond, the Club's principal shareholder, said: “Gordon Strachan has done a remarkable job for Celtic over the last four years, winning trophies every year.
“More importantly, he has given 110% commitment to Celtic Football Club and his integrity and talent are exemplary. Gordon leaves Celtic a better club both on and off the balance sheet.
“Personally, I am extremely grateful for his contribution to the development of this great club.We will endeavour to find a replacement to continue Gordon’s good work.”
Celtic Chairman John Reid commented: "Gordon Strachan has served Celtic Football Club with distinction, demonstrating great character, determination and professionalism in his role and ensuring tremendous success for the club.
“He is a man who I personally will always hold in high regard and someone whose record for the club speaks for itself. I would like to wish Gordon, Lesley and their family all the very best for the future.
“We will now aim to appoint our new Football Manager as soon as possible.Our aim is to regain the Championship which we have dominated in recent years and restore our pre-eminent place in Scottish football.
“This is nothing less than our supporters deserve and I would like to thank our supporters and our players for the commitment they have shown during the course of the season."
Celtic Chief Executive Peter Lawwell said: "Gordon has given everything to the club and worked tirelessly to bring success to Celtic. He has achieved so much at both domestic and European levels.
“It has been a pleasure to work closely with Gordon and he leaves the club with all our best wishes. We thank Gordon for his commitment and achievements at the club and we also thank our fans for backing us all the way this season.
"Our fans know how to support their club and we will be doing all we can to once again bring back the title to Celtic Park, something which our support deserves.” |

As far away from Larkhall as possible Brisbane Roar have confirmed they will face Celtic in July in a pre-season friendly. The game will pit former Rangers players Craig Moore and Charlie Miller, now plying their trade with Roar, against Celtic once again, while the Glasgow side's Australia international Scott McDonald will line up against some of his Socceroo team-mates. 'Brisbane captain Craig Moore and Hyundai A-League Foreign Player of the Year Charlie Miller both had distinguished careers at Glasgow Rangers and know what it means to face Celtic,' Brisbane general manager Peter McLennan said. 'This is a contest that should excite every football fan in Queensland, not just those who follow the famous green and white hoops.' Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell said the club was delighted to accept the invitation to play in Australia. 'Celtic is fortunate to enjoy the support of millions of people worldwide and it will be a great privilege to ensure that many of our Australian supporters have the chance to see the team play in their own country,' he said. 'As well as playing in the match we are hoping to stage a number of other supporter events and we are sure we will make this a trip to remember for Celtic and its fans.' The match will be played at Suncorp Stadium on Sunday July 12. |
