Celtic defender Bobo Balde is offered a trial at Birmingham City, who are also targeting Rangers pair Barry Ferguson and Kris Boyd.Bobo Balde
The expensive bench warmer turned down offers to join Blues and Wolves last summer, because of a dispute with Celtic over a pay-off for his contract.

But Balde's contract with the Scottish giants expires on 30 June.
Baldé signed for Celtic on 21 July 2001. At the start of the 2008-09 season it was announced that Balde would be allowed to leave Celtic on a free transfer provided that he could find a club that would meet his salary demands.
