Bright Osayi-Samuel is Celtic's transfer 'priority' as Neil Lennon targets QPR winger deal

Neil Lennon will be keen to make a couple of additions after a tumultuous start to the season at Celtic. One name that won't go away is Fraser Forster, despite his transfer falling apart spectacularly last summer while QPR winger Bright Osay-Samuel continues to be linked with a move to Parkhead.

Christophe Berra were Celtic and Hearts’ forgotten men earlier this year.Now both are preparing to play in the Scottish Cup final just months after being cast aside by their respective clubs.Berra found himself unsuited to Daniel Stendel’s style of play and therefore unwanted by the then Hearts boss, who shipped him out on loan to Dundee just two days after his wedding back in January.That came after being banished to train with the Under 18s and it looked like the former captain’s time at Tynecastle was unceremoniously over.Gordon was forced to play second fiddle to Fraser Forster at Celtic, sometimes even third once Scott Bain was back on the scene and rarely got a look in as Neil Lennon’s team marched towards a ninth successive league

Neil Lennon to think with his head over his heart as the Hoops pursue a quadruple Treble this weekend. Celtic are in desperate need of a victory that would breathe some life into their stuttering season.

Europa League raised eyebrows throughout the Hoops’ support. But Hazard repaid Neil Lennon ’s faith with two solid showings against the Ligue 1 giants and Kilmarnock.

Charlie Nicholas reckons Scott Brown should nowhere near the Celtic starting XI for Sunday's mammoth Scottish Cup Final with Hearts. The Hoops can secure an unprecedented quadruple Treble if they defeat Hearts at Hampden as they look to lift the trophy after two morale-boosting wins.

Neil Lennon and is adamant he’s the best man to get Celtic to Ten In A Row. The Parkhead chief-executive has been accused, along with his board and majority shareholder Dermot Desmond, of not being strong enough publicly in his support for the boss.

Neil Lennon insists nothing means more to him than securing the fabled 10 In A Row as he launched a robust defence of his record. The Irishman has come under fire in recent weeks after a miserable run of results saw his side crash out of the Europa League, while Rangers opened up a 13 point lead at the top of the Premiership.

Peter Lawwell launched an impassioned defence of his club in the wake of recent fan fury as he rounded on 'online negativity'. The club have released two statements in recent weeks but the club's AGM offered the first chance for the long-serving Parkhead chief to speak directly to supporters.

Celtic board may be glad this year's AGM is being held virtually. In previous years the annual general meeting has gone off without much of a hitch as the club racked up trophy after trophy, with the infamous 'resolution 12' the only sticking point.

Neil Lennon failing to try something different From 3-5-2 to 4-2-3-1, Tom Rogic at a No.10, Albian Ajeti and Patryk Klimala earning chances, the Irishman did try and find solutions to the glaring problems on the pitch. But the introduction of pocket rocket Ismaila Soro has really worked and the Ivory Coast star has been pivotal in the wins over Lille and Kilmarnock.

Celtic boss Neil Lennon will be feeling better after notching up another win on Sunday. But with 10 In A Row still hanging by a thread he'll be keen to keep hold of Odsonne Edouard and Kris Ajer.

Two wins on the spin now for Neil Lennon’s new look Celtic. But does he leave skipper Scott Brown on the bench again in Sunday’s Scottish Cup Final?KEITH JACKSON: He’ll be agonising over this one but now that Lennon has found a winning formula he’ll be reluctant to change it.

Neil Lennon’s caring and personal approach have helped haul him up from the depths.The Irishman has paid tribute to the understanding and compassion of his gaffer during dark days in the early stages of his Parkhead career after signing on loan from Brighton.Duffy endured a torrid beginning. Out of form, making mistakes and lambasted by pundits and ex players, the centre-back was toiling and very badly.Lennon took him out of the firing line, but also stayed close to him off the park with regular chats, discussions and visits.Duffy had lost his father just prior to signing.

Neil Lennon put it. But Celtic’s 2-0 win over Kilmarnock was a giant leap for the Hoops faithful in the space of a week or two.

Gordon Strachan insists he's seen Hoops-daft players crash and burn at Parkhead. And that's why he's delighted to see Shane Duffy turn his fortunes around with two much improved performances over the last few days.

Kilmarnock missed a big opportunity at Celtic Park. The Rugby Park manager was left frustrated as his side slipped to a disappointing 2-0 loss in Glasgow’s East End.

Kristoffer Ajer has saluted team-mate Shane Duffy for proving the doubters wrong after beating Kilmarnock. The Brighton loanee tried to claim the first goal in the 2-0 win, although it appeared to come off Killie's Aaron McGowan last.

Kilmarnock 2-0 at Parkhead. The Premiership champions went into the match in third place but after a stodgy first half Neil Lennon 's men went up through the gears in the second.

Neil Lennon was proud as punch in the wake of his side's rejuvenating win over Lille. But as good as the Europa League dead rubber was - things must improve domestically for a side facing an increasingly desperate battle to keep pace with Rangers.
