Neil Lennon has told Alison Conroy the deal for Ben Davies from Preston to Celtic is not finished yet, contrary to reports on Thursday.
The Preston defender is closing in on a Celtic deal but there has been nothing confirmed to this point.
Celtic boss Neil Lennon says no deal has been agreed with Ben Davies as yet. Ahead of the transfer deadline he’s looking at “1 or 2 replacements” with Frimpong away & Jullien injured.

Davies, 25, is in the final six months of his contract with Celtic looking to sign him on a pre-contract. As we understand it, the pre-contract is pretty much agreed but the club are looking to get the defender in this month if they can.
If that’s the case, they will be currently negotiating with Preston who are holding out for a decent amount of cash for the centre-back.
If no deal is agreed between the two clubs, then Davis would likely make the switch in the summer but the Hoops would have to look for another short term deal I the mean time to plug a gap in our defence.
