    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Blackburn may be too late in confirming their interest in Dutch striker star Maceo Rigters.

    The 23-year-old, who finished top scorer in the recent European Under-21 Championships, currently plays in the Dutch league for NAC Breda.

    Blackburn chairman John Williams told the Lancashire Telegraph: 'The Dutch lad is someone that [manager] Mark [Hughes] likes. I know that he admires him a lot.'

    However, Rigters' agent earlier revealed he is hoping to fly into Glasgow today to tie up a move to Celtic.

    Tom Smit told the Daily Record: 'I would hope to be in Glasgow on Monday and make a final agreement with Celtic.

    'It is my hope that we can agree a deal soon. If I can't get into Scotland right away I'll be there on Tuesday.'</div>

    I saw an article the other day about Blackburn completing the deal for Rigters? If this is true then it's better that he goes to Celtic, he's a good player and I'd rather see him in the SPL than playing for Blackburn against us [​IMG]

    Why would he want to play in the SPL when he could play in the EPL, no offense to the Scottish but the English Premier is a higher level of football, theres only Celtic and maybe Rangers that can really match our standards.
