Niemi eyes Celtic switch

Southampton goalkeeper Antti Niemi has declared today he would love the chance to work under former saints manager Gordon Strachan at Celtic. Celtic are said to of offered £2 million for the 33 year old goalkeeper. Niemi mayed it clear after Southampton were relagated last season that he wanted out.

The former Rangers keeper is quoted as saying "moving back to Glasgow would not be a problem for me," but it remains to be seen if the Celtic fans feel the same way.

One can only see this as a postive move for Niemi considering the Saint's Championship status, however, I don't believe Scotland can never offer him regular top-class football, just those 4 league games a year.
