Rat from Shaktar
Bit in the notw, dont no if there is any chance, but nice to hear how much he thinks of Celtic and us
Meanwhile Romanian international left-back Razvan Rat begged Celtic to sign him.
The Shakhtar Donetsk ace impressed Strachan at Euro 2008.
With Lazio, Bologna, Sunderland and Newcastle tracking the £4 million-rated full-back, Celts face stiff opposition to get their man.
But after five years in Donetsk Rat, who has played at Parkhead twice on Champions League duty, admitted the lure of an offer from Parkhead could be too strong to resist.
The full-back, 27, said: “Nobody from the club has told me anything about an approach from Celtic, but they are a great club and, if they were to make me an offer, I would certainly be very interested.
“I have played at Celtic Park twice with Shakhtar and I have never experienced anything else like it.
“It’s the only stadium that I have played in where I couldn’t hear myself think, the noise from the fans was so loud.
“I really hope to have the chance to play there again.”
Shakhtar coach Mircea Lucescu, a fellow Romanian, admits he would be willing to listen to offers for Rat, though the cash-rich Ukrainian outfit are under no pressure to sell.
The player’s agent, Ioan Becali, said: “Last winter, Donetsk refused an offer of £4m for Razvan.
“They’re a rich club and would not sell him below that figure.
“He has attracted a lot of interest from British football and he really likes that style of play, but it would depend on the club as he has more than two years left on his contract.”

He by far my favoured option for LB, I'd love to get both Rat & the young portugese guy & punt Naylor.

would be a great signing and i think 4mil is more than a fair price for him and if we were to spend big this season id like it to be in the defense bringing in Rat and an experienced CB. i think we could get a champs league striker for under 5mil easily.

Mixing him up with Srna, silly me.
Played for Romania in the Euros had a good championship. Stocky we so and so looked solid. Should be good.
Would´t mind his pal Tamas as well looked a good CB.
Mental note to self always read the first post.

he would be my first choice for left back too. would want him, as so many have said already, and Antunes and sell Naylor. i would be happy for WGS to stump up £4m for him. easily worth it.

On the one hand our style demands really good FBs who can attack so its pretty crucial but on the other I am not sure I can see us spending 4 million on a left back. That would be by far the most we have ever spend on a FB.
