Neil Lennon is in Wales tonight watching Partizan Belgrade in action against Connah’s Quay Nomads.
Despite their impressive aggregate win over Kilmarnock it’s unlikely to be the Welsh side that have caught the eye of the Celtic boss and his scouting team.
Serbia has been one of the great exporters of footballers from the former Yugoslav republics with affordable players that tend to settle quickly when they go abroad.
Celtic’s Neil Lennon and Tosh McKinley have arrived at @rhylfc for this evening’s game. Hopefully watching a Nomad that impressed against Kilmarnock.

With Lennon on record as looking to bring in another right-back the hoops boss is likely to be looking elsewhere tonight with Seydouba Soumah listed at right-back on the UEFA website.
The 28-year-old from Guinea only moved to Partizan in the summer from Maccabi Haifa and has enjoyed a chequered career switching clubs almost every summer at a number of South African and eastern European countries.
At the weekend Lennon has arranged a closed doors match against Manchester City’s u-23 side that will feature a number of first team squad players needing match time.
