Celtic boss Tony Mowbray has ruled out a move for former Bhoys star Mark Viduka.

Viduka is available on a free transfer after seeing out his contract at Newcastle, and there have been some suggestions that Celtic could make a surprise move to bring the 33-year-old back to Parkhead.

But Mowbray, speaking in Australia ahead of his side's clash with Brisbane Roar, insists he has no plans to move for Viduka.

"Mark has been involved in a difficult season in England with Newcastle, but I would suggest that at this moment I think that's pretty unlikely that that would happen," Mowbray told Sky Sports News.

"I am looking forward to working with the existing strikers we have got.

"We have just completed the signing of a centre forward - Marc-Antoine Fortune - and I am looking forward to try and gel our existing strikers together."
