Following Celtics pre-season draw at Shelbourne last night, manager Martin ONeill told reporters in Dublin: "I'd like to do something with him. If we can do something relatively quickly, at least he then gets started in pre-season, which is really important for him.

I would like to have him. It would be nice. Im definitely pursuing that at this minute.
