Neil Lennon has confirmed Celtic’s interest in Pawel Brozek with the striker expected to go through a medical tomorrow before signing on loan till the end of the season.
The Celtic boss has been desperate to add another striker to his treble push and believes that Brozek can provide competition and back up for the Anthony Stokes/Gary Hooper partnership that has bagged 33 goals this season.
Cash strapped Rangers had shown interest in the Trapzonspor striker but were unable to put together a formal bid despite Ally McCoist going public with his interest.
After beating Falkirk 3-1 today to reach the final of the League Cup Final Lennon admitted: “I know Rangers were interested but we have been involved with players before and Rangers have nipped in.
“I am not saying we have nipped in, but we have been tracking him for quite a while. We have tried to keep it under the radar.
“I have not seen him yet but if he does come in I will be delighted. We will see how he is and if he is ready to go he won’t be far away from starting. He scored a lot of goals in Poland and he will give the squad a jag.
“We can’t keep relying on Gary Hooper and Stokesy for the goals. If one of them gets injured or suspended we could be a goalscorer short and Pawel is a goalscorer.
“He has gone to Trabzonspor and for one reason or another it has not worked out but what we do know is he is a goalscorer.
“He is a bit like Hooper, he knows where the goal is. We might try to get another player in before the window closes, we are always looking.”
