    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.

      Borussia Dortmund's Swiss striker Alexander Frei is still on Celtic manager Gordon Strachan's radar after missing out on Maceo Rigters. (Scottish Daily Express) been linked with for a while but will we put in a concrete bid?

      They were and probably still are but I think if the flog there best players, they might as well close shop now. I think the are strong enough (financially) to resist selling their better players

      They aren't strong enough financially to keep all the players (see Christoph Metzelder's move to Real Madrid). However, the team sold Jan Koller and Tomas Rosicky (to Monaco and Arsenal respectively) last year for decent fees so they are not needing to sell another quality striker.
