Celtic's plans to sign Quinton Fortune have been put on hold while the Glasgow club assess the results of a scan on his knee.

The South Africa international was released by Manchester United this summer after failing to hold down a regular first-team place at Old Trafford following a knee injury.

Fortune, who is also being courted by Bolton and Manchester City, had a medical last Thursday evening after a day of talks at Celtic Park.

However, the 29-year-old will have to wait on his possible move to Parkhead until the Bank of Scotland Premier League champions have assessed his medical results.
