    Gordon Strachan has made his first official move in the transfer market with a £2million bid for Maciej Zurawski of Wisla Krakow.

    The Polish striker is in top form and has already stated in the media he would love to move to the Scottish giants.

    And Wisla President Janusz Basalaj said earlier today: "We have just received an official offer from the Scottish club.

    "Celtic has presented their proposal and we have launched negotiations."

    Strachan has had Zurawski watched and is hopeful of getting the player on board quickly.

    But Celtic fans will be concerned that this might mean a move for Welshman Craig Bellamy is becoming more and more unlikely.

    Newcastle want at least £5million for the unsettled striker although Celtic aren't prepared to match that valuation.

    Meanwhile, defender Joos Valgaeran has signed for FC Brugge on a free after his contract expired.

    The Belgian will be returning to his homeland after Martin O'Neill brought him to Glasgow 5 years ago.

    Neil Lennon though is going nowhere after agreeing to sign a one year deal which will probably see the Northern Irishman into retirement.
