According to Scottish Television and BBC Scotland, the ex-Jambo's captain is in Glasgow for talks with Celtic.


Pressley is available as a free agent after leaving hearts by 'mutual consent' and can officialy sign on January the 1st.

Southampton are also reported to be one of 4 or 5 clubs interested but with Strachan said to be on the look out for an new defensive edition a move for Pressley could suit him and the Celtic money men.
Celtic restored their 16 point lead at the top of the SPL after beating Dunfermline at East End Park

After a poor first half, the hoops took the lead through Aiden McGeady before Zurawski added the second. Dunfermline replied with a consolation strike at the end.

The win was overshadowed by a confrontation between Lennon and McGeady at the end, which seemed to be sparked by the Pars goal.

Boruc confronted Lennon after Dunfermline scored, who in turn had words with McGeady before both had to be separated by Evander Sno.

Celtic Football Club has announced that it has suspended with immediate effect, 17 supporters who have been reported for offensive behaviour at the Club’s recent match against Hibernian at Easter Road Stadium on Sunday, November 26.

The offences relate to reports of offensive and sectarian chanting and singing.

The Club has written to each seat holder affected, outlining the reasons for their suspension. Each individual will then be interviewed and if found guilty will be banned indefinitely from Celtic Park.

The current suspensions will mean that until the Club’s investigations are completed, these individuals will not be permitted to attend any of Celtic’s home or away fixtures.

A spokesperson for Celtic FC commented: "The overwhelming majority of Celtic supporters are a credit to the Club and we sincerely value the backing which these fans give the Club.

"However, Celtic will continue to take a very strong stance against offensive behaviour of this nature and...
CELTIC'S defeat in Copenhagen last night brought a virtual guarantee that Gordon Strachan's team will face a tough assignment in the knockout phase of the Champions League, with their last-16 tie due at the end of February and beginning of March.

The Scottish champions' 3-1 defeat by FC Copenhagen in the final match of Group F left them in second place behind Manchester United, who came from behind to beat Benfica 3-1 at Old Trafford.

As runners-up, Celtic will next face one of the other seven section winners, a list that comprises Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, AC Milan, Olympique Lyonnais, Valencia and Bayern Munich.

The prospect may have the Celtic fans salivating, but Strachan was too distraught over the latest embarrassment away from home - their 12th in the tournament without a victory - to raise much enthusiasm.

The manager's disappointment was so deeply felt that he took the unusual step of admitting that his team are beset by problems in the...
Balde determined to finish Champions League group on a high

Celtic defender Bobo Balde says the Hoops are determined to retain their place at the top of UEFA Champions League Group F when they face FC Copenhagen this week.

Gordon Strachan’s side have already guaranteed themselves a place in the last 16 of the competition but will definitely win the group if they win in Denmark on Wednesday night.

Celtic have never won away from home in the group stages of the competition but Balde can change that statistic.

The 31-year-old said: "I look forward to Copenhagen. If we win the group it will be more than we've ever done before, but as the manager says, the first thing we try to do every year is win the league.

"Then we try and get to the second stage of the Champions League and this time we've done it.

"Now we will go over there and try to win the group. That won't be easy but we're confident that it's possible.

"If we do it will be a great...
