Celtic FC have allowed Poland captain Maciej Żurawski to sign for Larissa FC in a reported €660,000 deal.
Chances restricted
The 31-year-old striker joins last season's Greek Cup winners after a campaign in which he has made only one Scottish Premier League start. With Żurawski behind Scott McDonald and Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink in the Celtic pecking order, the move is likely to enhance the forward's status in national coach Leo Beenhaker's plans for UEFA EURO 2008™. He featured in all bar one of Poland's 14 qualifiers.
Double winner
