European: Czech duo eyeing Celtic

Czech Republic stars Martin Jiranek and Marek Heinz could both be on their way to Celtic.

Defender Jiranek revealed that Celtic is his preferred destination after his Euro 2004 performances sparked a bidding war.

And striker Heinz has cancelled a holiday in case the Bhoys want to open talks with him.


Jiranek, a 25-year-old right-back, is currently under contract at Italian outfit Reggina and valued at around the £2million mark.

He played in four of his nation`s games in Portugal before being ruled out of the semi-final with Greece because of a groin injury.

Ukranian outfit Shakhtar Donetsk - who are possible opponents of Rangers in the Champions league qualifiers - are known to be Celtic's rivals for his signature.

A move to the Russian league has also been mooted but so far a switch to Glasgow is the one that appeals the most.
