Strachan open on Balde's future


Balde turned down a move to Sunderland in the summer

Celtic manager Gordon Strachan insists Bobo Balde still has a part to play if the defender wants to stay at the club.

Balde returned after a year on the sidelines to star in the Boxing Day win over Dundee United at Tannadice.

And Strachan stressed that Balde, set to leave for the African Nations Cup with Guinea after the next two matches, has his future in his own hands.

He said: "Why is it any different for Bobo? The future is determined by the player himself."
