Lennon braced for deadline day madness
The hoops boss moved early during the transfer window to sign up Tom Rogic with Rami Gershon arriving on loan from Standard Liege.
Lennon has mentioned bringing in someone left-sided but the main issue will be whether or not an acceptable bid comes in for Gary Hooper.
It’s highly unlikely that Hooper would be sold without another striker coming in with Lennon braced for a frantic day of rumours and wheeler-dealing.
“We’re toying with it (bringing players in) players will be thrown at you, it does get pretty busy,” the Celtic boss admitted after the 4-1 win over Kilmarnock. “You have to digest it, you have to make a decision, is it good for us? Is it the right position?
“We’ll see what tomorrow brings but at the minute we haven’t done anything on that front.”
Celtic turned down a third bid from Norwich for Hooper with speculation about the striker bound to intensify throughout the day.
Lennon added: “There was a third bid from Norwich that was rejected, again it was well short of what we value Gary at. If people want to make a bid fine, they’ll have to come forward with the money then we’ll see where it takes us.
“You can never guarantee it but I’m hoping he is here on Friday. A lot of things happen on the last day, it’s pretty frantic. Agents ring you, clubs ring you but the only concrete offer that we’ve had is for Gary from Norwich.
“He’s a fantastic all round centre forward, the next time we’re here we’re playing Juventus and I think that really appeals to him as does going forward in the Championship.”
