Celtic face competition from Blackburn Rovers and Brugges to sign AIK Stockholm striker Mohamed Bangara.
All three clubs watched the striker in action yesterday but it was Robert Persson who scored the only goal of the game in the victory over Syrianska.
AIK have to decide whether they hold on to Bangura in a bid to clinch a Europa League spot but it’s odds on that the striker will push through a transfer with reports that Celtic have already applied for a visa.
Speaking last night AIK director Rolf Andersson defiantly admitted: “I know people are on their way to Sweden but I would also point out that nothing is yet confirmed or decided.
“In these situations things happen so fast that I do not know if they will until I see them here.”
Blackburn have had Bangura watched over the last month while Bruges had a bid turned down last week.
The Premiership side could offer the striker the highest wages but with Blackburn stuck at the bottom of the table it’s believed that a more experienced striker is required.

Oh well another player lost to average teams bet will go down to our tight ass spending
HANG YOUR HEAD IN SHAME DERMOT DESMOND YOUR A DISGRACE TO BILLIONAIRES AROUND THE WORLD MR.BURNS HASN’T A LOOK IN
Let me ask ALL Celtic fans this question –
Why would you spend £6-7m on players to win a prize worth £2m? The game is dead in Scotland and the situation at our club is worsening by the month, DD can throw as much money at as he likes but were still stuck so why should he? If it was your business would you spend the money? Dont let your heart rule your head.
Hail Hail!
because Andy the more you improve something the better it gets ever heard of the Champions League eh? last I heard you get about 15 million just getting into group stages and another thing we won’t move forward if we all think like you sorry for having a go m8 but we have to think that this is our lot after what we done before we have to be better surely
HAIL HAIL LETS BRING THE THUNDER BACK AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!1111111
Well there is no money in the Scottish game no more thanks to the overhype of the Premiership but why not do what they do lets get a TV station i.e. itv4 or something and get them to show all the best games live from the spl charging £29.99 for a years subscription and giving a percentage to SPL.
My bet is it would generate about £30-50m easy this would give the lesser teams a financial boost and would also give fans and clubs a massive bonus needed so common sfa get your fingers out and do something to stop the demise instead of picking your wages up week in week out for doing sfa….. hail hail
Celtic and Rangers tried to implement that idea before. Theywere even going to fund the up front money to start it. Every SPL team would have been guaranteed 1.5mill but they voted for Setanta instead.
Do you really think they would get one million subscribers?
at last well said Stu someone with an idea of how to turn things instead of everyone greeting and moaning how bad we god so so much for a country of Bravehearts eh lol sometimes am ashamed to call myself Scottish listening to some of them
If you get 100,000 ( a figure I would say is very reachable)paying £20 per month for 11 months, make June free and show old games, that would generate £22m. Add in fees from pubs, overseas rights and advertising revenue I’d guess it would be closer to £30m.
