DEREK RAE has his ear to the ground in German football land is a great source of information. The former Scottish football commentator is happy to answer questions from his followers and give some insight into whatever might be topical at the time.
Rae has confirmed to Celtic fans Werder Bremen who were challenging the Hoops for Venlo striker Georgios Giakoumakis are now on the cusp of signing Marvin Ducksch.
The German striker is closing in on a move to Werder Bremen which would almost certainly mean the Werder will drop out of the race to sign Giakoumakis.
Important one here for Celtic as well as Werder Bremen fans. Bremen are on the cusp of signing Marvin Ducksch from Hannover. Medical expected tomorrow. This will have the effect of ending Bremen’s interest in Georgios Giakoumakis, as I expected.

This transfer saga has gone on for a couple of weeks. The window closes in a matter of days now so it’s time for club’s to show their hand.
We’re not entirely sure if the Celtic are waiting to sell a striker before they bring another one into the club. It could all hinge on Edouard leaving – but we’ll find that out shortly.
Celtic have two massive games this week against Alkmaar and the Rangers. The players they have right now will contest those games with nobody new expected to feature – even if they are signed before Sunday.
