Bhoys and Rovers fight for Chavez

The highly-rated defender is regular for the Honduras side which has qualified for the World Cup finals in South Africa.
He almost joined Tottenham in August, but a deal failed to materialise and he is now training with Celtic.
Chavez was with Rovers, who are keen to strike a deal, last week but he is now in Scotland with Mowbray's men.
Celtic are understood to be trying to broker a deal for January which will see Chavez move on loan from his current club Platense, until the summer, with a view to a permanent deal.
"Osman is a very, very good player - who has shown with Honduras he is capable of playing in Europe," Barry McIntosh, who has taken the player to Celtic, told skysports.com. "Celtic already like what they have seen, and we would think they would be keen on doing a deal.
"We are very hopeful of getting something done with Osman for January."
