Bellamy chooses Rovers

Newcastle striker Craig Bellamy has made a surprise move to Blackburn Rovers.

The 25-year-old Welshman, who has been vigorously pursued by Champions League qualifiers Everton, Scottish Cup winners Celtic and Aston Villa, is understood to have decided to renew his relationship with former Wales boss Mark Hughes at Ewood Park, subject to a medical.

Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd said: "Right now, Craig is talking to Blackburn and undergoing a medical."

Bellamy's decision brings an end to a saga which has been running since his infamous bust-up with Magpies boss Graeme Souness, ironically the man who made way for Hughes at Blackburn when he took up his post at St James' Park last September.

The former Norwich and Coventry striker spent the second half of last season on loan at Celtic after being told he would never play for Souness again following a television tirade in which he branded the Scot a liar.

Shepherd confirmed Celtic were trying to take Bellamy back north of the border right up until the player chose Blackburn.

"I can assure Celtic fans that their club did everything within its power to try and get the player," said Shepherd.

"But it seems the lure of the Premiership is obviously too much."

Good signing for Blackburn but seems like he has a lack of ambition going there. I mean whats the best Blackburn can hope for really?

At least Celtic and Everton were offering the prospect of Champions League football.

Bit of a strange move IMO

Got to be a money move....remember the last failure who signed for them :whistle

.......no doubt the Zurawski deal will go through now.

celtic were a wage nothing else..

Even if Celtic were to get bombed out of the Champions League it would be two more games than Blackburn have got in it

Then Celtic are in the UEFA cup which Blackburn are not.

Must be desperate to work with Mark Hughes again cos I don't see Blackburn paying him that much
