Jimmy ‘saddened’ his Celtic move is off

JIMMY Floyd Hasselbaink is “saddened” to miss out on a move to Celtic but his agent believes the Scottish champions have missed out on the perfect replacement for John Hartson.

Manager Gordon Strachan wanted the 34-year-old Dutchman to fill the boots of the recently-departed Welsh striker and was in Amsterdam on Monday to discuss a move to Parkhead with the player.

But, despite the player’s willingness to drop his wage demands, the club still could not do a deal.
