Lawrence expects to seal Celtic switch
Stoke midfielder Liam Lawrence expects to complete his move to Celtic when Aiden McGeady signs for Spartak Moscow this week.[LNB] McGeady's imminent transfer to the Russian club will give Hoops' boss Neil Lennon an extra £9.5million to continue rebuilding his squad and some of that money will be used to bring long-time target Lawrence to Parkhead.[LNB]"Well, that's what I've been told," the Republic of Ireland international was quoted as saying in the Evening Times.[LNB]"I want a new challenge and, if it comes about, I will be chomping at the bit to achieve things at Celtic because they need to push this year and win things again.[LNB]"I have had some little bits of banter with Aiden as well.[LNB]"I spoke to him the other day and fired him a text because I knew he was off to Russia. I'm not telling you what I said though.[LNB]"It's a massive, massive move for him and it's an important decision both football-wise and for him and his missus."[LNB]Lawrence insists Parkhead is still an attractive destination despite Celtic's Champions League exit at the hands of Braga last week.[LNB]"I'm not one of those players who say they want to move because a club is in the Champions League," he said.
