Sunderland striker Fletcher: Graham would be great Celtic signing

Steven Fletcher is backing Sunderland teammate Danny Graham for Celtic.

Both strikers are off contract at the end of this month.

Fletcher was quick to talk up the attributes of Graham, who is well known to new Celts boss Brendan Rodgers.

“He (Graham) would be a great player for them. We're good pals, and I enjoyed my time playing with him," said Fletcher.

“We always used to say he could pin a double decker bus, he can pin anyone. The bigger the defender, the more he wants to go out of his way to pin him as well.

"He played for Brendan at Swansea and Watford so he knows what he's about. He's a great player, a big strong lad who can finish as well."
