Celtic boss Lennon to target experienced players

Celtic manager Neil Lennon says he will look at bringing more experienced into his squad ahead of the upcoming Scottish Premier League season.

Last term the Hoops added three players under the age of 25 who all did a good job for the club but after completing the signings of 19-year old Adam Matthews and 20-year old Victor Wanyama recently, Lennon is looking to add some seniority to his group.

"We have to be a little bit more imaginative in where we go and exploit different markets," he said.

"Last season, we brought in Beram Kayal, Emilio Izaguirre and Gary Hooper - players who were under the radar who we felt would enhance us as a team, and have done.

"And we have done the same this season. We have brought in Victor Wanyama and we feel we have found a really good player as well.

"But we don't always want to go down the youth route. We are looking to bring maybe one or two experienced players as well into the squad.

"But I am pretty happy with the squad at the minute. It needs tinkering a little bit but I would be happy to get just one or two more in."
