John Collins confirms Celtic interest in Dundee United's Nadir Ciftci

Celtic assistant manager John Collins admits that the Scottish champions do "like" Dundee United's Nadir Ciftci.

Celtic assistant manager John Collins has confirmed that the Scottish champions do want to sign Nadir Ciftci from Dundee United.

Recent reports suggested that Celtic had made a £900,000 approach for the Turkish forward, and Collins admitted their interest today on Sky Sports News.

"He has obviously played against us many times last year," Collins said. "He's a big striker, he's strong, he's powerful and he's got technique as well. We like him."

Ciftci, who earlier this month revealed that he had turned down a new Arabs contract, has scored 33 goals in two seasons for United.
