CHAMPIONS BIDDING TO SIGN UP CORK STAR MAGUIRE

CELTIC have joined the race to sign Cork City striker Sean Maguire. They have been monitoring the 22-year-old over the last couple of months and sent scouts to watch him again last night. Maguire has a €150,000 buy-out clause this summer and is on Preston North End’s radar.
