Petrov wants Bellamy for keeps

Celtic midfielder Stilian Petrov urged the club to fund the long-term signing of Craig Bellamy after the Welshman fired the Hoops into the Tennent’s Scottish Cup final.

Man-of-the-match Bellamy scored Celtic’s second goal in their 2-1 semi-final win over Hearts at Hampden Park and further endeared himself to the supporters who hope his loan deal from Newcastle will made permanent.
