Celtic express interest in signing Yorke

CELTIC have confirmed they are in talks with Blackburn Rovers striker Dwight Yorke over a move to Parkhead.

The Premier League club are looking to take the former Manchester United man to Glasgow for the remainder of his contract with Rovers. But the Hoops dismissed suggestions that the 32-year-old had already agreed a three-year deal.

Yorke has fallen out of favour at Ewood Park where manager Graeme Souness appears to favour a forward line of Scotland international Paul Dickov and Jon Stead.
