Neil Lennon: Transfer speculation is hilarious
Over the last month Emilio Izaguirre has been linked to half a dozen Premiership clubs with Biram Kayal also the subject of speculation despite having made less than 20 Celtic appearances.
The signings of relative unknowns such as Izaguirre and Kayal was greeted with derision from some quarters but their recent performances have gone a long way to silencing the doubters.
Lennon told Channel 67: “I find it hilarious, when we brought these players in at the start of the season we were criticised for our signing policy.
“They said that we were signing these players for commercial reasons more than footballing reasons.
“Now the realisation has sunk in that they are actually quality footballers they want them to clear off and sell them down the road. That’s not going to happen.
“We’re trying to build a team here not take it apart. It’s flattering that there is interest but I’m not aware of it, there has been no phone calls to me or to Peter (Lawwell).
“This comes with the territory if you’re team is doing well that there will be interest from other clubs.”
