GLASGOW, Scotland. Jan 30 (PA) - Neil Lennon has confirmed Celtic's transfer coup over Old Firm rivals Rangers with the signing of Ibrox target Paweł Brożek from Trabzonspor.

Rangers manager Ally McCoist confirmed his interest in the Polish striker over the weekend but the Parkhead club have agreed terms with the player and subject to a medical he will sign on loan until the end of the season, with a permanent deal on the table.

He added: "I am not saying we have nipped in, but we have been tracking him for quite a while. We have tried to keep it under the radar.

"I have not seen him yet but if he does come in I will be delighted.

We will see how he is and if he is ready to go he won't be far away from starting. He scored a lot of goals in Poland and he will give the squad a jag.

"We can't keep relying on Gary Hooper and Stokesy for the goals.

"If one of them gets injured or suspended we could be a goalscorer short and Paweł is a goalscorer.

"He has gone to Trabzonspor and for one reason or another it has not worked out but what we do know is he is a goalscorer.

"He is a bit like Hooper, he knows where the goal is. We might try to get another player in before the window closes, we are always looking."
