Celtic are weighing up a Bosman move for Brazilian striker Ilan Araujo Dall’Igna.

Capped three times by Brazil, Ilan — as he is more commonly known — is out of contract next summer. And Sportsmail understands Celtic scouts have developed a keen interest in the St Etienne player.

The 29-year-old is rated in the £4million bracket after five years in French football.

Work-permit restrictions would pose few problems because the former Atletico Paranaense and Sochaux striker has an Italian passport.
