Journalist claims Celtic want Gavin Strachan

Celtic are interested in bringing Gavin Strachan from Peterborough United this summer, according to The Sun journalist Alan Nixon.

Nixon has claimed on his Twitter page that Celtic want to appoint Strachan as a first-team coach.

It has been claimed that the Hoops are planning to move very quickly for the 41-year-old former midfielder, who is the son of ex-Celtic manager Gordon Strachan.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon recently told HeraldScotland that the Glasgow giants are close to appointing a first-team coach as a replacement for Damien Duff.

Duff left his first-coach coaching role this month and will focus on a similar role with the Republic of Ireland national football team.
