Celtic have pulled the plug on the deal to sign Polish centre-half Jaroslaw Fojut on a Bosman deal.
Fojut suffered a knee injury playing for Slask Wroclaw a fortnight ago and met up with Celtic’s medical team in London last week.
A pre-contract deal had been agreed but with fears that the defender may have suffered cruciate ligament damage the deal is now off.
Neil Lennon admitted: “It looks like Jaroslaw has done his cruciate and that deal will be off now. He was in London on Tuesday with our doctor Roddy Macdonald to see a specialist.
“Of course when you sign a player on a pre-contract there is always that clause in it, so we have the option to break it.
“And going on the medical advice we’re getting we won’t be taking him. I think he’s had a cruciate injury before and it looks like he’s suffered the same thing again.”
With Glenn Loovens and Daniel Majstorovic out of contract during the summer bringing in two centre-halfs as well as securing the future of Fraser Forster or otherwise will be Lennon’s transfer priorities.

Ally, Ally Ally Bally Bee, sittin on auld Wattie’s knee, greetin for 50p, to buy a 50% share in Rangers.
Round and round the garden Runs the teddy bears One step, two steps Then they weren’t there!
Clapa clapa handies Broxie Bear’s comin home, pennies in his pocket for his wee….sh*t he’s skint too
Hopefully our scouting system will have players in mind…2 x central defenders are a priority. Most certainly much better quality than Loovens, Majstorovic, K. Wilson are required.
We also need a true central striker with pace, a focus for our attacks which neither Stokes nor Samaras provide….no more short measures.
Jocky,
Wasn’t this post about Fojut? Nothing to do with Rangers here bud.
Shame about the boy, hopefully we’ll take another look when he’s fit again.. Means we’ll also need to spend on a CB too i’d guess, slightly annoying!
What about garry oconner A big target man and not feart about putting it about..?
he’s a partyboy & would bring nothin but bad news.
I heard he didn’t have a great season anyway. Unlucky for the lad anyway.
Fojut? Celeban is better deffensive playear in Slask Wroclaw. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/piotr-celeban/profil/spieler_29509.html
Gary oconnor for Celtic? I’d rather have des oconnor.
Big Molina from real betis would be an brilliant signing. hopefully we can get a couple of good defenders for our champs league qualifiers.
Haha like it jocky, always time for a pop at the rankers of ibrokes hoppers!!!
Feel sorry for the guy but would like to see an experienced euro guy in beside mulgrew and wanyama, then all we need is another hartson/Sutton and id be a very happy Tim going into the CL qualifiers !!
Let’s get them in now ‘NL + PL’ !!!!
