Glasgow Celtic are interested in signing German goalkeeper Timo Hildebrand, who is currently a free agent after being released by Bundesliga club 1899 Hoffenheim.

"Yes, it's true. There is interest from Celtic. This is very interesting for me," Hildebrand told Scottish newspaper Page.

Hildebrand has presumed that his opportunities in Germany are numbered as most clubs have resolved their issues in his position and he has opened himself up to going abroad once again.

Celtic were demolished this week in Portugal in their Champions League qualifer first leg against Braga, losing 3-0. After selling Polish goalkeeper Artur Boruc to Fiorentina they will look for reinforcements, especially after fellow Polish keeper Lukasz Zaluska did not have the most convincing of games in Braga.

Hildebrand, 31, has a wealth of experience after stints with Stuttgart and Valencia.
