Two ‘deals’ fall by the wayside.

Philippe Senderos and Ruud van Nistelrooy are both on the move tonight but neither of them to Celtic.

Senderos was heavily linked with Celtic early in the week but has agreed to join Everton on loan till the end of the season.

The much more fanciful, and largely internet based, rumour linking Van Nistelrooy with a loan deal has sunk without trace with the striker moving to SV Hamburg for £1.5m on an 18 month contract.

Preston boss Darren Ferguson has dismissed any deal under £4m for Sean St Ledger which  looks like Celtic will be forced to look elsewhere for the defender that Tony Mowbray clearly is looking for.

With a week to go before the transfer window closes speculation is bound to intensify as clubs, players and agents indulge in the ultimate game of poker.

Every club is looking to get the top price for their players but no-one wants to be left with expensive and unwanted goods when the transfer window closes.

It’ll be fever pitch time next Sunday with Celtic the only SPL club in the market for signing players.
