Riordan could move to League One Leeds

It is thought we made at least two bids for him, the last one coming on the last day before the window closed, and it was expected that we would renew our interest during the summer months. However, there has been no mention of a move for Riordan since the end of the season and the keen interest in Martin Paterson suggests there might not be.

Things haven't gone too well for the Celtic striker since our bids failed. He's made only one first team appearance, and that as a late substitute for Gary Caldwell in a Scottish FA Cup tie, and he's also had a very public disagreement with manager Gordon Strachan that more than outdid the Lafferty/Coyle spat.

The two clubs to have been linked with him in the last couple of weeks are Preston and League One Leeds. Preston have denied any interest but it now looks as though an offer could be coming in from LOL.

Manager Gary McAllister is looking to rebuild his squad after they lost at Wembley to Doncaster Rovers in the play off final and it is thought he's made Celtic an offer of around £500,000 for Riordan.

It is unlikely that will get him away from Celtic but he is expected to move before the start of next season and McAllister is expected to be back with a bigger offer.
