Souness split
The 25-year-old recently had a much publicised falling-out with Newcastle manager Graeme Souness, and was told he could leave the UEFA Cup contenders after three-and-a-half years with the club.
Camara replacement
Newcastle accepted an €8.7m bid from Birmingham City FC for the player, but over the weekend Bellamy decided against the move. Celtic, meanwhile, allowed on-loan Senegalese international Henri Camara to move to Southampton FC earlier today, and have now replaced him with a striker who has scored 28 goals in 93 Premiership games for Newcastle.
