Celtic boss Neil Lennon is reportedly still keen to bring Braga's Helder Barbosa to the club in the January transfer window.

The Bhoys are currently riding high at the top of the SPL table and their nine-point advantage would appear to suggest that the title will be heading to Celtic Park.

But Lennon's men have bigger fish to fry in the coming weeks as they are set to take on Italian champions Juventus over two legs in the last 16 of the Champions League.

It is thought that the boss wants to strengthen his squad for the upcoming challenges and Barbosa was reportedly the subject of a previous failed loan bid.

But, according to the player's agent, Angelo Martins, the Glasgow giants are still monitoring the former Porto star's situation closely.

"At this moment, the interest from Celtic is still there and is, I think, stronger than before," he told the Daily Record. "Helder would be thrilled to go to Celtic, I can assure you."
