Ambitious Polish club make shock bid to sign Celtic star two years after £4m Parkhead move
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) POLISH club Pogon Szczecin want to take Celtic defender Maik Nawrocki back to his homeland on loan. The 24-year-old was a bit-part player for the champions last season and made just three league appearances.

He netted his first goal for the club in the 5-1 defeat of Aberdeen at Pittodrie in May, but faces an uncertain future under Brendan Rodgers. And ambitious Pogon Szczecin, who finished fourth in the Polish League and lost their national cup final, have enquired about whether Celtic would allow him to go on loan back to Poland. Celtic splashed out a reported £4 million to Legia Warsaw to land Nawrocki two years ago, but he would be too expensive for Pogon Szczecin to buy permanently. And they will try to do business with the Parkhead side about a loan deal instead. Meanwhile, TalkSPORT pundit Adrian Durham reckons Rangers decision to appoint Russell Martin will have Celtic "looking over their shoulders" this season. The Gers took the plunge and made the 39-year-old former Southampton manager the choice to replace Philippe Clement and Durham was impressed enough by what Martin achieved by guiding Southampton to an unlikely promotion to the Premier League via the playoffs to give the move the green light. Speaking to Celtic-daft breakfast host Alan Brazil, Martin said: "Listen, he did play for Rangers and by his own admission, he isn't exactly a Rangers legend. "He wasn't brilliant there and only had a few games [17 appearances, scoring one goal]. "It isn't his playing career at Rangers that has got him the job, but he has an identity, he has a plan. Eric Black on losing love for football & the ex-Celtic star who's the best he's ever seen "I personally think he is going to need some money and I'm not sure that is there at Rangers. "If he can get players in that suit the style he wants to bring in at Rangers he could have a big impact and Celtic possibly need to look over their shoulders."
