Riordan is currently contracted to Celtic but has found it hard to hold down a position in the Celtic team, often not making the subs bench. He has however managed 4 goals in his 19 games or Celtic, who he signed for from Hibernian, this follows on from an impressive 54 goals in just 123 games for Hibs.
It is a mystery why the striker is finding it hard to fit in at Parkhead, as his services have been wanted by Rangers, who offered £450,000 on the final day of the January transfer window in 2006. Leicester City were also keen to bring him across the border, whilst a £1m move to Cardiff City was agreed at the end of the 2004-05 season but Riordan did not want to move to the Welsh club.
The Scot has also had International experience, coming on as a substitute against Austria in August 2005.
With Billy Davies's interest in bringing the cream of Scottish talent to Derby County , Riordan may be the 6th Scotsman to arrive at Pride Park since Billy Davies took over as manager....
