A strict medical to test the player’s knee

Celtic may have scored four goals in the second half against St Johnstone but they created 26 chances. This indicates that Celtic are still woefully inefficient with respect to the amount of chances they take from what they make.

This is why the club are in the market for a new striker and Morten Rasmussen appears to be the man of the moment for Celtic. The Glasgow club has agreed a deal with Brondby, leaving personal terms and a medical to be completed.

The player suggest that the personal terms, believed to be around £20,000 per week on a three and a half year contract, will not be a problem;

“I really hope this deal can go through.”

“My personal terms are the only thing outstanding, but it shouldn’t be a problem. Celtic are a big club and it’s a dream for me. I was happy at Brondby but I always hoped to get a move to a club like Celtic. “

“I think the Scottish league would be perfect good for a striker like me. I know great things about the club having spoken to [Celtic’s former Danish players] Morten Wieghorst and Marc Rieper.”

However, Celtic are expected to examine the player’s knee extensively as the player suffered ligament damage previously.

This injury kept the player out for a number of months but he has bounced back to score consistently in the Danish league.

Celtic fans are desperate to get a new forward on board but if there are any doubts about the long term fitness of the player, the club has to know what they are. It can only be hoped for the club and player that the medical will go smoothly but with so much at stake, it is easy to see why the Glasgow club will take every precaution possible.

Do you think Morten is the man to fire Celtic to glory this season?

£1.5m deal for Hoops?

Yes, just days after beating Morton, Celtic appear to be in the hunt sign a Morten. Fans of other clubs may say “ooh Morten, Harket them and their spending of money.” Of course, if you are unaware of A-Ha and their terrible music, that joke will be lost on you.

Trust us, you are one of the lucky ones.

Right where were we? Oh yes, Celtic in the hunt for Morten Rasmussen. It has been noted in the Danish media that the move is on and Friday’s Herald has broken ranks to talk about the Glasgow side being close to clinching the player in a £1.5m deal.

The player currently plays for Brondby and it is said that talks between Celtic and representatives of the player took place in London on Thursday.

The “ever reliable” Wikipedia has announced that he has signed for Celtic…but they also have attributed some ludicrous comments to the player so it is probably safe to ignore the rantings of that site at the moment. You know that the originators of Wikipedia never had the creative talents of football fans on their mind when they set about creating this information site!

Either way, the stated 44 goals in 84 games is worthy of further consideration and any striker who can bring that strike rate to the SPL will go down well. Lets face it, Celtic are more than capable of creating the chances, it is putting them away that has let the Glasgow side down so far this season.

There have been rumours circulating that this signature will see Scott McDonald leave Celtic, which may leave some fans unhappy at proceedings but does tie in with the talk of one in, one out that is supposedly in place at Celtic this window.

Oh, did you want some Youtube footage? Here you go but remember that not every player is as great as they are made out to be on Youtube. Viewers should always remember that players may not cut it in real life but that the sun always shines on TV…..sorry!
