It is always a busy time of year for the Hoops, not least because of their Champions League qualifying clashes which leave them facing a much shortened summer break than their rivals. With new signings likely to be high on Neil Lennon’s list of tasks, the Scottish Daily Mail, as relayed by the Daily Record, claim that the Bhoys are eyeing up a move for Manhcester City winger Brandon Barker, the 22-year-old heading into the final year of his contract at the Premier League champions. A fringe figure in the north west of England, it is fair to say that the rumours of a reunion with Neil Lennon, having managed the forward at Hibernian, have not gone down well with the Parkhead support, who appear to think he is lacking the necessary quality to make a difference in Glasgow. With two goals and two assists during a loan spell at Preston North End last season, you have to wonder whether they might have a point. Yes, Celtic are limited in terms of budget but you would imagine they could set their sights a little higher this summer.
