A Celtic fan has launched a Just Giving page to help Fenerbache buy Parkhead defender Efe Ambrose.
The fundraising page, set up by Andrew O'Donnell, has a target of £1.5m to cover the price tag Celtic have put on the player.
It says: "We're raising £1,500,000 to help Fenerbache raise £1.5m to take Efe Ambrose away from Celtic forever."
It was revealed in May that Ambrose is on the Turkish club's wanted list. However, the Celtic defender has said that he will wait and see what happens at the Rio Olympic's this summer before making a decision on his future.
The page has raised a smile among fans, with many asking how they can donate. However, so far, no donations have been received.
Nairn Scobie said: "The guy is a twenty goal a season defender... pity it's twenty goals he gives away."
Greig Stott said: "Wonderful cause."
The fundraising appeal follows Celtic's shock 1-0 defeat to the Lincoln Red Imps last night.
The match, which was the squad's first under new manager Brendan Rodgers, has been described as the club's 'worst ever result'.
However, Rodgers said the result was not embarrassing.

He added: "There is obviously disappointment. We understand where we want to get to and what we want to achieve.
‘But there is no embarrassment. It was a tough game in tough conditions. We didn’t take our chances, they took their chance. The second leg will be different."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
