Doubts remain over McGeady future

Celtic winger Aiden McGeady has travelled to London for this weekend's Emirates Cup - despite continuing speculation over his future.

There have been no fresh bids for the 24-year-old, since Spartak Moscow reportedly offered £8.3m last month.

McGeady has yet to play in pre-season and sat out the Champions League qualifier in Braga.

Celtic say he has been recovering from thigh and back injuries but trained on Thursday ahead of the games in London.

The Republic of Ireland international, who signed a five-year deal in 2008, is part of the squad to face Lyon on Saturday and Arsenal the following day.

Meanwhile, former Germany goalkeeper Timo Hildebrand has said he is mulling over an approach by Celtic.

The 31-year-old is a free agent after his deal with Bundesliga outfit Hoffenheim was not extended this summer.

And Celtic, who have also been linked with England goalkeeper David James, are searching for a replacement for Artur Boruc, who has joined Fiorentina.

"Celtic are interested and that is very interesting for me," he told Germany's Bild newspaper.

Hildebrand rose to fame as part of the Stuttgart team which secured the Bundesliga title in 2007, but experienced a difficult 18 months in Spain with Valencia.

He returned to Germany in January last year with a move to Hoffenheim, but is now looking for a new club.

Celtic midfielder Paddy McCourt, meanwhile, has signed a new three-year deal.

The Northern Ireland winger told the club's website: "I am absolutely delighted to commit my future to Celtic."

McCourt joined the club from Derry City in June 2008.
