LONDON, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Celltech Group Plc has selected a new chief executive and expects him to take over at the head of Britain's biggest biotechnology company in February, the outgoing CEO said on Wednesday.

"We have identified a candidate...we believe he will join in the first couple of months of the year, probably late February," Peter Fellner told Reuters.

Celltech has been looking for a new CEO since June when Fellner announced he planned to step down from the job and move up to the position of non-executive chairman.

Fellner declined to say who the new man would be but market speculation has centred on Goran Ando, head of research and development at Pharmacia Corp (NYSE:PHA - News), who is expected to lose his position to his counterpart at Pfizer Inc (NYSE:PFE - News) when the two U.S. drug giants complete their merger next year.
