Redknapp anger at Celtic rumours

Redknapp says links with Celtic are unsettling his players

Southampton manager Harry Redknapp has hit out at Celtic boss Gordon Strachan, accusing him of unsettling his players.

The Bhoys have been linked with keeper Antti Niemi, defender Claus Lundekvam and midfielder Paul Telfer but Redknapp says the speculation is unhelpful.

"What is Gordon trying to do? Wreck my team?" he told the Scottish Sun.

"I'm sick of it. It's time for Celtic to come up with money for my players or keep out of my affairs. It's basically a put up or shut up situation."

Redknapp claimed ex-Southampton boss Strachan had been in direct contact with Saints chairman Rupert Lowe.

"It's very disappointing to say the least that Gordon has not been in touch," he said.

"I wouldn't go direct to his chairman if I wanted one of his players.

"Celtic have been talking to my chairman because Gordon has a fantastic relationship with him, apparently."

Redknapp said Celtic had bid ?1.25m for Niemi, but dismissed that offer as "nowhere near good enough".

He added: "Is Gordon trying to unsettle my entire team?

"How many more players and when does this end? The situation has gone too far and I am sick of it. I'm getting the needle."
