Neil Lennon has revealed Freddie Ljungberg is due to arrive in Glasgow with a view to signing for Celtic. After watching his side score two injury-time goals through South Korea duo Cha Du-Ri and Ki Sung-yueng to beat St Johnstone and keep their Clydesdale Bank Premier League title challenge alive, the Hoops boss talked about the possible recruitment of the former Arsenal and West Ham star, who latterly played his football in the United States. Lennon said: "Ljungberg is coming in tonight. It is not a trial or anything like that. It's so that we can have a look at him and he can look at us. "We were contacted three or four weeks ago. I don't think he is over the hill. I think he is 34 but he has always kept himself in good condition "He had a horrendous time with injuries at West Ham but in the last 18 months he has played a lot of games in America. "You don't lose the quality, he might be missing an edge but we will see how he is."
