Celtic plan double raid on Villa for Ireland, Dunne

Celtic boss Neil Lennon is eyeing a double raid on Aston Villa.

The Express & Star says Lennon is keen on a move for Villa defender Richard Dunne and his team-mate Stephen Ireland in January.

Ireland has been linked with a loan move to Celtic since falling out with manager Gerard Houllier.

Fellow Irishman Dunne is now also interesting Lennon after his bust-up with Villa coaching staff.

It would be Lennon's biggest coup if he could land the out-of-favour pair and Villa are happy to let the deals happen if the terms are right as it reduces their wage bill.
