Stoke City winger Liam Lawrence would love a move to Celtic.

The £2.5million Stoke City and Republic of Ireland star has told boss Tony Pulis he wants away from the Britannia Stadium.

A source told the Scottish Sun: "Liam's been aware of Celtic's interest for a few weeks.

"He's unsettled at Stoke and wants to go somewhere where he will play more regularly.

"Celtic are a massive club and he knows all about them through his Republic team-mates Aidan McGeady and Darren O'Dea.

"The idea of playing for Celtic has great appeal for Liam. But the manager's situation there has yet to be established while a transfer fee and wages would also have to be agreed.

"It's up to Celtic, but there's every chance other clubs will make a move."
