CELTIC'S bid for Spanish left-back Xabi Castillo could go ahead despite the empty Parkhead hot-seat.

The Hoops have been told they will have to move quickly to secure the services of the promising Real Sociedad left-back.

Castillo is out of contract at the end of this month and, whilst a Spanish side would be forced to pay £2million for him, a foreign club can sign him for £100,000.

The 23-year-old said: "I have interest from Italy, England and Greece, but what I want is a proposal from Celtic."

However his agent, Joaquin Barcena, last night insisted the Hoops will have to move quickly with French giants Marseille the latest side to express interest.

He said: "Xabi has instructed me to find a club with a 'British' accent and already stated Celtic would be perfect. Others have enquired about him, though, so nothing is certain yet. Hopefully, we can come to an agreement soon."
