MOTHERWELL are set to give Nadir Ciftci’s career a life-line after the Celtic striker’s loan agreement with English League 1 side Plymouth Argyle was cancelled. 

The 25-year-old Turkish-born player joined Celtic in July 2015 on a four-year deal after an impressive spell at Dundee United, however he failed to establish himself at Parkhead and was loaned out to Eskisehirspor in Turkey in January 2016 and Polish side Pogoń Szczecin in January 2017.

Last summer, Argyle’s Scottish boss Derek Adams took Ciftci in on a season-long loan deal but he has made just six starts and two sub appearances without finding the net.

Adams was advised last week that Ciftci’s agent was ‘on the case’ in terms of finding him a new loan club and Plymouth have now agreed to cancel their deal, with Fir Park expected to be his next temporary home. 

Motherwell are looking to replace top goalscorer Lewis Moult who joined Preston North End.
