Celtic are in talks with Mexican Primera Division side Santos Laguna about a formal partnership between the clubs. The proposed link would see Celtic establish a presence in Central America and could involve players moving between the sides.
Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell confirmed to STV Sport that discussions had begun between the two parties.
“We haven’t reach agreement yet but discussions are ongoing with Santos Laguna,” Lawwell said.
The chief executive said that commercial and marketing initiatives were being proposed and that the partnership could also include movement of players between the sides.
“On the back of signing Efrain Juarez ,there is huge interest in Mexico in Glasgow Celtic and this could be another step in us promoting the Celtic name,” Lawwell added.
Santos have confirmed their interest in the link-up on their official website, with club president Alejandro Irarragorri pointing out similarities between the clubs. Aside from the fact that both clubs play in green and white, Irragorri said there were “shared philosophies, foundations and objectives.
The Mexican club are currently top of their group in the Mexican Apertura Championship. They last won the league in 2008, having lifted the title on three occasions since their formation in 1982.
Santos were the first club to hand a professional outfit to Italy midfielder Mauro Camoranesi, who was born in Argentina and was taken to Mexico from Mar Del Plata based side Aldosivi in 1996, en route to his eventual switch to Italy in 2000. Mexican internationals Cuauhtemoc Blanco, Osvaldo Sanchez and Jared Borgetti have also played for The Warriors."

According to STV's website, we're chasing the idea of having a partnership with a team in Mexico. They also happen to wear green and white hoops!

can also attest to the fact of how hardcore Mexican fans are. Other than goofs like us wearing Celtic hoops outside now and again, Mexican fans wear theirs all the time. Just got back a copy of our church directory and one of the guys has his Mexican National team shirt in the picture. Cruz Azul, Monarcas, Pumas, Santos, Chivas, etc.. I see those shirts all the time. Most of the better soccer shops feature Club America gear right alongside the MLS, EPL, La Liga and Serie A shirts. MLS clubs like to think that they are improving but they can't win in Mexico in the Super Liga and CONCACAF champions league. USA soccer had something of a revival in the last eight years but the Mexican players are the ones making noise now

So what about Zurich grasshoppers and Sporting Lisbon, lol. Lawell is just like most of us, If they play in the hoops? That will do for us.. May be a good ploy as we could sell thier tops in our store and vice versa... and as stated in a couple of posts, Mexico is the new breeding ground for good youngsters looking to impose themselves on Europe.
