Neil Lennon has confirmed he has already given the Celtic Board identities of those players he wants to move out over the summer. Landry N'Guemo, Marc-Antoine Fortune and Georgios Samaras may well feature on that list following the Hoops shock Scottish Cup semi-final defeat to Ross County.

N'Guemo was hauled off before half-time at Hampden, while Lennon singled out forwards Fortune and Samaras for criticism in what was a scathing post-match interview.

Asked if he had made his recommendation to the board, Lennon said: "Yes - but I'm not going to tell you who."

But the Northern Irishman appeared cautiously optimistic the result had not been the death knell for him, saying: "I'll be judged over the next five or six games and we'll assess it in the summer and speak to the powers that be."

He added: "I've spoken to Peter (Lawwell and I've spoken to Dermot (Desmond).

"They're private conversations and not they're for the public consumption just yet."
