NEIL LENNON has not exactly made Celtic fans feel comfortable with the club’s current stance on Kieran Tierney’s future when he spoke to CelticTV on Friday.

The Irishman fielded questions on some of his prized assets like Callum McGregor and Kieran Tierney with the speculation intensifying around the two players.

Neil was pragmatic and even went as far as to say he expects bids for the players considering their quality.

Celtic fans have been digesting the news Arsenal have been sniffing around Keiran Tierney with former boss Brendan Rodgers keen to also bring in Callum McGregor this summer/

Make no bones about it, if Celtic lost one or both these players in the summer it would be a disaster and again fly in the face of Lawwell’s hollow words about coming out of transfer windows stronger than when it opened.

Speaking about the possibility of movement with regards to his top stars, Neil wouldn’t commit to a stance but seemed to hint if the money is offered he would be powerless.

‘I would be surprised if there were no bids for a number of players here,’ said Lennon. ‘Even if they are mid-table clubs, they have plenty of money and they are playing in the Premier League.

‘There is big money being quoted for players down there and Kieran is as good as them, if not better.

‘I would be very surprised if we don’t get offers for him – let’s put it that way.’
