Bayern Munich could be set to make a move for Aiden McGeady following a fact-finding mission on the Celtic winger.

Republic of Ireland coach Giovanni Trapattoni claims he was asked to give his assessment of McGeady by the German outfit.

The Italian met Bayern representatives at Chelsea's 1-0 win over Manchester City last week, where the discussion took place.

Trapattoni told the Scottish Daily Mail: 'They asked me what I think about McGeady because they have followed him.

'They wanted to know my opinion and I said McGeady is one of our most important players.'
