Eck gets Birmingham green light to meet McGeady price

Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish is ready to meet Celtic's asking price for Aiden McGeady.

The Mirror says McLeish is likely to get his man this summer with an £11million bid for Celtic winger McGeady.

The former Rangers manager, who knows McGeady well from his days in Scotland, has refused to take no in an answer in his quest to land the 23-year-old Republic of Ireland winger.

McLeish had an £8million bid for the much-coveted McGeady rejected in January but has the go-ahead from the St Andrews board to increase his offer in the summer window.

Celtic supremo Dermot Desmond is insisting that no offers under £10million will even be considered.
