Bhoys keen on Horsfield

Celtic manager Gordon Strachan has confirmed that he is interested in bringing Sheffield United striker Geoff Horsfield to the SPL leaders.
Horsfield, 33, is out of favour at Bramall Lane and Strachan believes that his physical presence could be a valuable asset for his side in the coming months.
He told the Daily Record: "Horsfield is one of the guys we've thought about. He's three or four years younger than Dion Dublin and you could see what an impact he made last year.
"When Dion signed we had a laugh about his age, but we were seven points clear when he joined and ended up 20 points clear.
"That wasn't too bad a move after all. We need a physical presence as well as our runners."
Strachan has also admitted that the Bhoys are keen to land FC Basel's Swiss Under-21 international midfielder Zdravko Kuzmanovic, while they also hope to tie up a deal for Rennes defender Jean-Joel Perrier Doumbe.
