Bulgarian Ivaylo Petkov is on a three day trial at Celtic and a decision will be made by Wednesday. Manager Strachan has said that "he will look at us and we will look at him". Strachan does not like to use the word trialist but thats exactly what he is.


Petkov's agent Martin Reilly has said that he needs an answer from Celtic very quickly as there is work to be done getting the player to other interested clubs if Celtic cannot get a deal sorted quickly.


Petkov has been capped 64 times for his country and has stated publicly that Celtic are his team of choice. Celtic are under pressure to sign a new player after a poor performance against Hearts at the weekend.
