Bhoys could step up Shittu interest

Celtic manager Neil Lennon could attempt to bring Danny Shittu to Parkhead after the Nigeria international was released by Bolton Wanderers earlier this week.

The 30-year-old played in all three of the Super Eagles' World Cup group games in South Africa but fell out of favour with former boss Gary Megson at the Reebok Stadium while current manager Owen Coyle also failed to select him.

He started only 11 matches for the club following his arrival from Watford, with the last coming in May 2009.

Meanwhile, Georgios Samaras is pleased with his decision to stay at Celtic despite reported interest in his services from Palermo, Espanyol, Hercules and Newcastle United.

The former Manchester City forward said: "I would love to play and stay at Celtic rather than go to a club in Italy or Germany to fight for tenth or 11th position.

"When you finish the season, you have done nothing apart from winning enough games to stay in the middle of the table. That is the reason why Celtic are a great club.

"That's important for us to understand as players and a team and hopefully we can make something good this year."
