    Bhoys agree Robson deal

    31 Jan 2008 - 15:10:23

    Celtic are set to sign Barry Robson after agreeing a fee for the Dundee United captain.

    The 29-year-old will join the Parkhead club on transfer deadline day for a seven-figure fee with James O'Brien moving in the opposite direction.

    Robson had been interesting Nottingham Forest but has opted to stay in Scotland.

    "Both myself and the chairman would have preferred Barry to remain a Dundee United player, but he made it abundantly clear on a number of occasions that he wanted to move on," revealed Dundee United boss Craig Levein.

    "He felt that, at his age, he had one last chance of a major contract and we couldn't persuade him otherwise.

    "He's a fantastic player, greatly admired by the chairman and myself and we wish him well in his future career."

    Celtic have already landed Georgios Samaras on loan from Manchester City and Japanese midfielder Koki Mizuno during the transfer window.
