Celtic boss Neil Lennon eager to keep Southampton pair

Celtic boss Neil Lennon wants to keep Fraser Forster and Mohamed Elyounoussi.

The Southampton duo were on loan with the Bhoys, but the Scottish Premier League has been cancelled.

After being named champions, Lennon hopes Celtic can keep the pair.

Lennon told The Sun: "We're hopeful they'll be around but that's a conversation we'll have to have with Southampton and the players individually.

"In the main, we'd want to keep them if we could. It kept that continuity going rather than maybe going out and bringing other players in.

"If we could keep the services of those two, they know how we work and what the club is all about.

"They made really good contributions. Fraser was absolutely brilliant and Moey, up until the injury, was fantastic."
