In-demand George playing it cool

WHEN Glasgow Celtic scouts have shadowed his every move in Ireland for the last month, you know that George O’Callaghan is the hottest property in Irish soccer.

And while the Scottish giants have never been far from his heart, "flattered" is the only word he can use to highlight the interest of Gordon Strachan's club as speculation mounts on a daily basis about his future on Leeside.

The latest is that Bolton Wanderers are interested, that Scunthorpe in town last week were also seduced by his skills on a recent visit to the Cross. But the Celtic link is intriguing.
