Agent confirms Celtic move for Two Players

Last updated : 18 January 2007 By Stephen Leslie

Willie McKay, the agent of Hibs duo Scott Brown and Kevin Thomson has again reiterated the desire of his clients to join SPL Champions Celtic.

Despite rumours of a Walter Smith led swoop for the midfielders, McKayconfirmed "It is 100% true that both Scott and Kevin have confirmed to Rod Petrie and John Collins that they want to leave now, and they want to
join Celtic".

When quizzed on whether he would bet that the players would be at Parkhead before the end of the transfer window, he said "I think it would be unfair to put pressure on people to get the transfer completed within certain time constraints. At the time we confirmed that the boys preferred to join Celtic,Rangers were going through a bad patch under Paul le Guen however, I believe that it would still be the boys' preference to join
Celtic".

The Monaco based "Superagent" went on "Celtic have made a bid for both players, and Peter Lawwell and Rod Petrie
are in negotiations at the moment, and although I am not informed of exact details, I believe it is a good offer
for Hibs. The talks have been ongoing for the last couple of weeks".
