Derek Riordan heads south

Former Celt Derek Riordan played for Blackpool yesterday in a behind closed doors friendly against Bolton.

The 29-year-old spent an eventful two seasons under Gordon Strachan either side of two very productive spells with Hibs.

Last summer Riordan quit Scotland for Chinese side Shaanxi Chan-Ba but lasted only six months before returning home.

Kilmarnock boss Kenny Shiels has already had Riordan training with the Ayrshire side but the player is believed to be keen to try his luck in England.

In his two seasons at Celtic Riordan scored 8 goals plus a penalty in the Champions League shoot-out win over Spartak Moscow.
