Celtic dismiss interest in Rijeka pair

Despite being linked with Rijeka duo Dario Zuparic and Filip Bradaric, Celtic have rubbished Croatian reports which suggested that they want to bring the pair to Celtic Park, as per the Daily Record.

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is open to the idea of adding to his squad this month, however, he won’t be making an offer for defender Zuparic, 25, or midfielder Bradaric, 26, in the current window.

Rijeka currently sit 4th in the Croatian top flight, three points off of second place Hadjuk Split, and the pair have been regulars in the spine of the side.

Celtic are no strangers to bringing in players from Croatia, after signed Jozo Simunovic from Dinamo Zagreb in 2015, who is now believed to be a target for Italian side Lazio.

Rodgers may look to bring in the players during the summer, with Zuparic out of contract at the end of the current campaign, but it looks like neither will be arriving this winter.
