CELTIC are facing a heavyweight rival for the services of Danish winger Jakob Breum in the form of Dutch outfit FC Twente.
Dutch reports yesterday claimed that Go Ahead Eagles had knocked back a bid from the Hoops for the 21-year-old earlier this summer - with the Parkhead offer described as being "laughingly rejected".

There's been talk of a second, or even a third offer, from Brendan Rodgers' side for the player.
But Go Ahead Eagles technical director Jan Willem van Dop told Oosttribune yesterday that FC Twente were also in the run for Breum - and they had made a higher offer than the only OFFICIAL one received from Celtic.
Revealing that discussions between FC Twente and Go Ahead Eagles had originally centred upon defender Joris Kramer, Van Dop said: "I spoke to Jan once this summer, and he asked about Joris Kramer.
"I made it clear that we didn't want to lose Joris.
"I think that's a good thing; you can start a fight at that point, but after my explanation, Jan immediately said: 'Well, Jan-Willem, we respect that, and that's it.'
"Then he had a second question, and that was Jakob Breum.
"I'd say that was certainly negotiable if the price was right, but we couldn't reach an agreement.
"His proposal was already higher than the official offer ever made by Celtic."
