Celtic midfielder Marc Crosas joins FC Volga to kickstart career
• Popular Spaniard needs regular first-team football
• Celtic agree £300,000 transfer, plus sell-on clause
The Celtic midfielder Marc Crosas is on the verge of joining the Russian side FC Volga. Celtic will receive £300,000 for the former Barcelona player, with a sell-on clause likely to be part of the deal.
Crosas, 23, has struggled to make an impact at Parkhead with his last competitive start coming 11 months ago. The Spaniard has, however, remained a popular figure among the Celtic support.
Crosas has been keen to leave in order to kickstart his career with regular first-team football. The timing of the Russian transfer window has allowed such a move to take place.
Volga, who were promoted to Russia's top flight in November, are based in Nizhny Novgorod, the country's fourth largest city after Moscow, St Petersburg and Novosibirsk.
Celtic's need to move on players who are not part of Neil Lennon's long-term plans has been heightened by what the chairman John Reid described as "disappointing" financial results. The club's bank debt has increased to £9.1m with an overall profit of £7.1m in the six months to 31 December due mainly to the £9.5m sale of Aiden McGeady to Spartak Moscow.

Shame, great guy but ultimately a waste of wages. Always feel that he hasn't been given a proper chance but that's life.

Sad to see him go because from what we seen he loved celtic but there was no point in him wasting his career on a bench :54: Best of luck to him!

all the best to him, good player.

he'll be playing for a worse team, so he'll get a game, but he'll be in a better league, so it'll be a good platform to go onto better things, better than the celtic development squad games lol

Really sad to see him go, always looked quite good, He'll make himself good there, maybe he could come back in a few years if he still shows the love for the club he does now and his talent progresses.
