Celtic in for Pavlyuchenko?

Celtic are reportedly interested in signing Russia international and Spartak Moscow forward Roman Pavlyuchenko. Gordon Strachan reportedly watched the player in action during the Euro 2008 tournament.

A club spokesman told the Daily Record: "He is under contract until the summer of 2011.

"We have not received any offer for him, but we understand that there are clubs interested in signing Roman because he is such a good player.

"He has forced his way into the first XI and has been our top scorer, so the coach really does not want to sell him at this moment."
