Celtic boss Neil Lennon has admitted interest in Reading striker Shane Long. The 24-year-old Reading forward is out of contract at the end of the season.

And Lennon said: "Shane is a player who interests us and that's as far as I'm going.

"He is a Reading player, you know, and I don't want to comment on other team's players.

"The transfer window has been and gone and we'll assess things in the summer."
