Chase On For Celtic Striker

Last updated : 05 June 2008 By Kevin Markey

Reports suggest that Gary McAllister is preparing a £500,000 bid for the out-of-favour Parkhead forward as he sees Riordan as a player who can help the team make a firm push for promotion next season.

However, Leeds' failure to win their play-off final against Doncaster Rovers may make Burnley boss Owen Coyle, who can promise Riordan Championship football, favourite for his signature.

But it is also understood that Riordan would be willing to consider a move to Elland Road, regardless of the club's failure to regain their place in the Championship.

The forward has 12 months remaining on the three-year contract he agreed with Celtic in 2006.
