North_Stand_Ram Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/celtic-make-last-ditch-attempt-sign-1934839?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter Celtic make last-ditch attempt to sign Dundee United striker Johnny Russell Johnny Russell Jeff Holmes/SNS Group By Gordon Parks | 6 Jun 2013 07:13 CELTIC last night made a last-ditch move to sign Dundee United hitman Johnny Russell. The Tannadice club have accepted a bid from Derby County for Russell who is due to travel to Pride Park on Monday to undergo a medical and finalise personal terms. But Record Sport understands Celtic have now officially entered the race for the sought-after striker and appear to be favourites to land him. Italian Serie A outfit Catania and Reading are also in the chase but Neil Lennon is in pole position to keep the player in the SPL. The Celtic boss is determined to hijack the Rams’ move by tempting Russell with a lucrative offer and the chance to be part of his team’s Champions League campaign. United accepted a bid of around £750,000 for the 23-year-old, who has a year of his contract to run, and discussions are continuing with his representatives, Viola FC. A United spokesman confirmed Derby’s intention to seal the deal. He said: “The transfer is expected to be concluded after the player has completed the necessary formalities early next week.” But Celtic are now in the driving seat to snap up a player Lennon once tried to sign for £500,000.

FeedTheFish Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 there's nothing on the bbc sport rumor page apart from " Johnny Russell, 23, could become a Derby County player next week after the Championship side had a bid for the striker, believed to be in the region of £700,000, accepted by Dundee United" but we already know that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DcFc Dyycheee Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 If they wanted him why wait until he's agreed personal terms and a medical set up for Monday? Load of b*llocks if you ask me, just trying to sell newspapers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 This is the exact reason why Derby wanted to keep it all quiet. All this speculation from Scotland is Dundee leaking stuff to the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramshankered Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Has this been posted yet? Apparently we've agreed personal terms: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22791512 Johnny Russell will undergo a medical at Derby on Monday after the striker agreed personal terms with the Championship club. Dundee United accepted a bid of about £750,000 for the 23-year-old, who had a year of his contract to run. "The transfer is expected to be concluded after the player has completed the necessary formalities early next week," said United. Russell scored 20 goals in the 2012-13 season. The Tayside club added that they are "working extremely hard to bring in quality new players with a view to strengthening the squad". And they remain in talks with Blackburn about bringing striker David Goodwillie back to Tannadice on loan. Italian outfit Catania had repeated offers for Russell rejected, while other Championship sides have made recent enquiries about the product of United's youth system. Dundee United chairman Stephen Thompson has been open about his intention to sell Russell this summer while he is still under contract. Huddersfield Town and Sheffield United also made unsuccessful moves for the player, in August and January, respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeedTheFish Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 To be honest it could happen haven't celtic just lost Antony Stokes but ive heard that Niel Lennon is a horrible manager to work with. ;L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_Stand_Ram Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Not a single quote or shred of evidence to back up those claims. If Celtic really were determined to get him, why wouldn't they just make an offer before now rather than waiting until he's on his way to Derby for a medical? Absolute paper ******** (I hope)?
