City striker could head to Scotland on loan
Manchester City striker Georgios Samaras would be 'happy' to have the opportunity to play regularly as he is lined up for a move to Celtic.
Samaras appears likely to follow the lead of Rolando Bianchi in leaving City after the Italian joined Lazio last week on loan with a view to a permanent deal.
Greece international Samaras has made just five Premier League appearances this season and has struggled to make an impact at City since a £6million move from Heerenveen two years ago.
Birmingham City recently pulled the plug on a proposed deal, but he could now head to the SPL with Celtic and Rangers holding an interest.
But while Samaras admits he would be tempted by a move to Ibrox, reports suggest he will be joining Old Firm rivals Celtic before the close of the transfer window.
Very interesting
He told the
Daily Record: "At this moment I need to find somewhere to play football. I have the European Championship this summer and I need to play games before then.
"I would be happy to go to Scotland. I would not have any problem with leaving the Premiership - playing football is the main thing for me.
"I would have the chance of European football with Rangers and that is also very interesting. But it would be a loan. I'm not looking for a full-time move."
