Aberdeen trial for Maceo Rigters

Former Celtic target Maceo Rigters is training with Aberdeen this week, the Pittodrie club have confirmed.

Gordon Strachan tried to sign Rigters for Celtic in 2007 after the striker starred in Holland's successful European Under-21 Championship campaign, but Blackburn beat him to his signature.

However, Rigters failed to make an impact at Rovers following his move from NAC Breda, making just eight appearances over the course of his four-year contract.

The forward had a short spell on loan at Norwich and failed to score in a season-long loan at Barnsley.

The 27-year-old then spent last term on loan at Willem II in his homeland before his Ewood Park deal expired.
