Frei considers Bhoys move

Switzerland captain Alexander Frei has claimed that Celtic are keen to sign him this summer.
The 28-year-old Borussia Dortmund striker has been linked with a move to Glasgow in the past, and believes the Bhoys have resurrected their interest in him.
"Apparently Celtic were in for me in 2004 and 2006," Frei said. "Now they want me again in 2008.
"However, no-one has ever put an offer on the table. If they want me they can phone me. Otherwise, I don't want to talk about it."
Frei was ruled out of Euro 2008 after suffering a knee injury during his side's 1-0 defeat to the Czech Republic in the opening game of the tournament. However, he should be restored to full fitness by mid-July.
The striker has spent the last two seasons with Dortmund and has been a regular scorer for the Bundesliga side following his transfer from Rennes in the summer of 2006.
Before moving to France he played for FC Basel, Thun, Luzern and Servette.
