CELTS CROSS FINGERS ON PAT

CELTIC haven’t given up hope of persuading Man City to sell them Patrick Roberts.

The on-fire winger’s loan deal expires next week after the Scottish Cup final with Aberdeen - and Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers is hoping Roberts’ parent club sees the former Fulham youngster as surplus to requirements at the Etihad.

The Parkhead outfit will likely have to break their transfer record to land the England under-21 international with City looking to recoup most of the £10m fee they paid to Fulham.
