Celtic midfielder Jiri Jarosik admits he wants a return to the Premiership.

The former Chelsea and Birmingham City midfielder said: "Coach Strachan has confirmed he wants me to stay but I told him how I feel about the situation.

"Celtic are a really big club and it was great to play in front of 60,000 fans.

"It was a successful season too, winning two trophies and qualifying from the group stages of the Champions League.

"However, I feel the Premiership offers me more than Scottish football.

"In my eyes, it is the best league in the world and I want to play in it again.

"In the SPL the football is, above all, about fighting and challenging.

"I felt a little bit better in England on the pitch, and in my private life too.

"I heard my name linked with a move to Tottenham and if that was to work out it would be interesting. They are an ambitious club.

"If I move I'd like to go to either England or Russia - I still have a good name in Russia."
