Roberts joins Celtic

GLASGOW: Scottish champions Celtic are taking Manchester City winger Patrick Roberts on loan for 18 months, the club announced on its website on Monday. The 18-year-old cost City £12million when they signed him from Fulham last year. The Glasgow side, currently top of the Scottish Premier League, are also hoping to complete the signing of Turkey international Colin Kazim-Richards from Feyenoord. Striker Nadir Ciftci, meanwhile, could be leaving Parkhead after Turkish side Eskisehirspor launched a bid to take the former Dundee United player on loan.
