NEIL LENNON has not ruled out a late move for Filip Benkovic as the.m Celtic manager weighs up his options ahead of Friday’s deadline.

Leicester will let the defender go back out on loan if they can bring in a centre-back before the window closes.

Asked if he could go in for the former Celtic player, Lennon was non committal and did nothing to dispel rumours Celtic could try and bring him Back.

“I don’t know, is the answer,” Lennon told the Leicester Mercury when asked about A loan move for Filip.

“I only worked with Filip for a short term, but I know he had a good impact here last season.”

“Hopefully we’ll be looking to bring one or two in this week.”

Filip was brought to Celtic by Brendan Rodgers and by the time Neil Lennon came in, the centre back was suffering from niggling injuries. Jozo was put in his place and kept his position in the team for the rest of the season.

Would Filip come back with Lennon in charge?

The window closes on Friday and Celtic have signed a striker and a defensive midfielder so far.
