Opinion Time
With football taking a break just now, Lennon and his scouts seem to be pursuing some future talent and making transfer plans.
This is smart as it means some players might be ready to sign when the summer window opens, we just hope that first-team options are also being tracked as Celtic need a few good players in the summer just incase certain clubs try to lure key players away from Glasgow.
