Rock star Bono reported joining Celtic bid
LONDON (Reuters) - U2 vocalist Bono has joined a consortium hoping to take
over Scottish soccer champions Celtic, newspapers reported Sunday.

The consortium, led by former Celtic and Scotland player Kenny Dalglish and
Simple Minds singer Jim Kerr, wants to buy the stake of chairman and
majority shareholder Fergus McCann.

McCann plans to sell his stake by March and return to Canada.

The Mail Sunday said sources close to Irish native Bono had confirmed his
involvement.
