Neil Lennon open to reaching deal for Gary Hooper return

Neil Lennon admits that he is open to the possibility of bringing Gary Hooper back to Celtic.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has revealed that he would be open to bringing Gary Hooper back to the club in the summer.

Hooper left Celtic before the beginning of the season to join Norwich City, but Lennon admits that the thought of signing the 26-year-old striker again is an attractive option.

"I'd imagine the Hooper thing would rumble on but whether we could tempt him back or not I don't know," the Celtic boss told reporters.

"I don't like talking about a player who's under contract at another club. But we think very highly of Gary put it that way.

"Whether we could do a deal he or the club would entertain, I don't know."

Celtic midfielder Kris Commons has also urged the club to attempt to sign Hooper.
