Jarosik reveals Celtic exit hope

Jarosik says he wants to join a club in England or Russia

Jiri Jarosik has revealed he hopes to leave Celtic before the transfer window closes on Friday.

The Czech midfielder, 29, has failed to force his way into Gordon Strachan's side since he moved from Chelsea last June for an undisclosed fee.

He told the Herald: "There are still four days to go in the transfer window and I am just waiting for the call from my agent.

"Gordon Strachan knows I want to move. I would prefer England or Russia."

Jarosik moved to Chelsea in January 2005 from CSKA Moscow, but made just 20 appearances, only six of them starts.

He spent a period on loan at Birmingham before signing a three-year deal with Celtic.

Jarosik said he was resigned to leaving the SPL champions, with England or Russia his preferred destination.

"It would be easier to do that because I know the language," he said.

"I also have the chance to go to Germany but I don't want to have to learn the language."
