Angry Sean St Ledger blasts chairman for denying him transfer window move to Celtic
PRESTON'S Sean St Ledger last night blasted his own chairman for denying him a dream move to Celtic.
The Republic of Ireland defender was desperate for a switch north after the Parkhead club lodged a £3million bid in January.
But a furious Ledger has now claimed Deepdale chief Derek Shaw refused to keep him in the loop - and even blanked his phone calls. The centre-half said: "The club didn't accept a bid so I just have to get on with it.
"It would have been nice if the chairman had returned my calls though.
"It would have been nice to be kept in the loop and he still hasn't spoken to me which is disappointing.
"The move was something I would have definitely considered if there had been a bid accepted. I think everyone who plays for Ireland always has a link with Celtic. It would have been massive for me if I had that opportunity, but I never had it.
"The draw of Champions League football was great but it wasn't too be. There is also the draw of playing in front of 60,000 fans but that is over now."
What sunk St Ledger's heart further was the sight of Robbie Keane being paraded in front of an adoring crowd at Celtic Park at midnight on Monday.
He added: "It's a pity because you just have to look at the scenes the other night when Robbie went there. You could see all the Irish flags, that would have been great.
"But it wasn't to be. You just have to try to move on from there and accept it."

He would not have played a single game for one very important reason, just shows you how stupid footballers are times.
There is a rule that a player cannot play for 3 Clubs in a single season, he played for Middlesborough and Preston, I cannot believe that no media was picking up on it.

They would have been ordered by FIFA not to play him. Seen it a few times in the League of Ireland.
