Spaniard linked to Celtic

Xabi Castillo has issued a come-and-get-me plea to Celtic.

The Real Sociedad left-back, 23, is out of contract at the end of the season and is keen to move overseas.

Because he is under 24, a Spanish club would have to pay £2m to secure his services.

“I have interest from Italy, from Bolton in England and Greece,” Castillo said in the Daily Mail.

“But what I want most of all is a proposal from Celtic.

“I wanted to make some money for Real before I left but, in football, things do not always work out as you like.”
