    Celtic manager Gordon Strachan is rumoured to be considering a move for Borussia Dortmund's swiss striker Alexander Frei.

    Frei has been in good scoring form this season even though Dortmund are currently struggling at the wrong end of the Bundesliga.

    He moved to Dortmund from France for £3 million, and with Dortmund in serious financial difficulties the potential transfer fee would not be beyond the reach of Celtic.

    The german giants were declared bankrupt in 2005 and relegation from the Bundesliga could spell the end for a club which won the Champions League as recently as 1997.

    With Celtic, and particularly all their strikers struggling for goals, Frei could be the solution to all of Gordon Strachan's problems. His departure from Dortmund could spark a bidding war, but it is understood that Celtic aim to be at the front of the queue should his club drop out of Germany's top flight.

      I've been to Luzern, if i remember there is an excellent museum of transport there, where I remember falling off a rising imitation ferry ramp inside - sad I know!

      Been to Zurich plenty times, as my parents used to live there.

      Frei scored again. Apparently he hasn't settled down in Dortmund, he doesn't seem very happy there.

      A transfer is not completely unrealistic in my opinion.


      I have collected a few points for, and a few against a move to celtic.


      -
      • You play against teams like Bayern, Stuttgart, Bremen etc, in front of 30'000 - 82'000 supporters every weekend.
      • The language, swiss people from the german part are able to speak german.
      • the food/weather's probably a bit better in germany.
      • Better League (Bundesliga)
      +
      • Titles, trophies and champions league football
      • Alex Frei is a winner, he wants to win everything, he wants titles!
      • playing for a well-known, famous and successfull side
      • Overkill supports Celtic
      • OF Games

      Frei scored again 2 goals this Weekend.

      I don't think that the transfer is realistic, 'cause dortmund will not letting leave him and he won't leave the club. There are also a few clubs in france (again) interestet in Frei.

      Like the appiah story, his current club want to keep him so Celtic wont be paying their demands, because rightfully, Lawwell wont be held to ransom
