Pederson hints towards Celtic switch

Premier League side Blackburn Rovers could see their Norwegian winger Morten Gamst Pedersen leave the club for Scottish giants Celtic.

The 28-year-old has hinted he would be interested in joining Celtic, describing the Hoops as “a big club” with the attraction of European football.

And the Norway midfielder, whose Ewood Park contract expires in the summer, said: “Lots of people care about the club. The fact they play regularly in Europe is a bonus.

“I have never played in the Champions League and it is something I have always dreamed of.”

Blackburn have been in negotiations over extending Pedersen’s contract but he has recently found himself out of the side.

He added: “I have no influence over the contract negotiations. My agent Rune Hauge takes care of all that.”
