Brief encounter
Freddie Ljungberg is a model player and could be heading to Parkhead Cha Du-Ri admits he is an admirer of the underwear modelled by signing target Freddie Ljungberg's as well as his undoubted football talent. Neil Lennon plans to meet the former Arsenal and West Ham star today with a view to signing the Calvin Klein briefs model. Cha, who scored his first goal for Celtic in the first minute of injury time against St Johnstone on Boxing Day before South Korea team mate Ki Sung-Yueng clinched the points with a second, revealed he is a fan of the Swedish legend on and off the pitch and relishes the prospect of Ljungberg joining him at Parkhead. The full-back said: "Freddie Ljungberg is a very famous player and I like his underwear. I have a lot of Calvin Klein underwear at home, maybe I'll show him. Seriously, he's a good player and if he comes to us then I think he can help us. It's great for us." Cha and Ki will fly out on Asian Cup duty in Qatar today which could see them absent from Parkhead for most of January. However, the defender is hoping to return to a side sitting at the top of the league. He said: "I hope Celtic can be top of the league for me and Ki coming back from the Asian Cup. We have a lot of players both in my position and Ki's position so I'm not worried. I'm sure they can play well without us." While Ljungberg is sure to grab more than his fair share of the headlines if he completes a move, Lennon is hoping a player already on the Parkhead books will make his mark in the forthcoming weeks. Former Juventus and Wigan midfielder Olivier Kapo has struggled with injury since signing in November but made his debut as a second-half substitute against the Perth men - and Lennon was glad to see him in action at last. The Parkhead manager said: "We have him on a short-term contract but he has been injured. He went away to France with the injury and came back and has worked very hard and looked sharp in training and we thought it might be an opportunity to give him some game time. You never know, we might have unearthed a player. He is here until the end of January and we will see how he goes in the next three or four weeks."
