Burnley deny Riordan bid
by Alex Livie, 03 July 2008
Burnley boss Owen Coyle has poured cold water on reports suggesting he has renewed his interest in Celtic forward Derek Riordan.
Riordan would appear to have no future at Celtic, having found it tough to force his way into Gordon Strachan’s plans at Parkhead.
The Clarets failed with a bid to land Riordan in January and Coyle claims their interest has waned since the winter.
“I don't know where it has come from but it's certainly not from anyone at Burnley Football Club,” said Coyle.
"It's well-documented I tried to sign him in January but there has been nothing since."
