NEIL LENNON has given some insight into his thinking when it comes to potential transfers and it goes against the type of player Celtic have been linked with so far.
The Celtic manager told SunSport he was looking for experienced players to come into the squad and help out some of the younger guys in the team.
This flies in the face of the players Celtic have been linked with the oldest being 25.
Speaking from Celtic’s training camp in Dubai, the Celtic manager had this to say on the transfer front.
“I think there is room for freshening things up and bringing in a little bit of quality and experience.
“That is what we are endeavouring to do in the background. We have been linked with a few players, but there is nothing confirmed yet.
“Looking at the team, we have 19-year-olds, a couple of 20-year-olds, 21-year-olds.
“Allied to that, we have the Scott Browns and Callum McGregors of this world.
“Going forward for the second half we would like a bit of experience in there to augment what we already have. That is what we are looking for, that is the objective.
“But if I can’t get what I want then we have got a good core of a squad. We will definitely bring in one or two players.
“If I can get our No 1 targets, great. If we can’t then we will just freshen things up.”
Celtic have been linked with a few older players on loan and that’s perhaps the route the board will want to take if it is players with no resale value.
It’s not often Celtic will go and sign a 30-year-old for a decent bit of money, knowing they won’t see any of that cash back in the future.
The Irishman makes a great point, but even he seems unsure if he can get that type of player into the club this month.
