Shanghai's latest footballing export Du Wei has made his first appearance in the jersey of his new club, Glasgow Celtic, turning out for the reserves in a 1-1 draw with Aberdeen.

The chances of Shanghai Shenhua FC's Du Wei moving to Celtic FC took a big boost today when the Scottish club's established defender Bobo Balde went AWOL by jetting off to France.

One of China's brightest young soccer stars may be headed to one of the sport's most storied franchises. Shanghai Shenhua defender Du Wei began a weeklong trial with Scotland's Celtic FC on Monday. Du, 6-foot-3 and 23 years old, reportedly comes with an £800,000-£1 million price tag. He would be the second major Asian acquisition for the Glasgow-based Hoops this summer. Last week, Celtic purchased Japanese midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura for £3 million. Du's departure would leave a gaping hole at backfield for Shenhua, currently in third place in the China Super League, 10 points behind league-leader Dalian Shide, with three months left in the season.
