According to The Scottish Sun, Neil Lennon wants to re-sign Gary Hooper during the summer if he is appointed Celtic manager on a permanent basis, and Bhoys fans have been quick to react on Twitter.
The Scottish Sun report the 31-year-old would be keen on a return to Parkhead having been released by Sheffield Wednesday following the conclusion of the Owls’ Championship campaign.
The report states that Lennon, who brought Hooper to the club from Scunthorpe United in 2010, is yet to hear what the future holds for him, but he is surely in a good position having steered the club to the title despite the upheaval of losing Brendan Rodgers before the run-in.
The striker scored 82 goals in 138 appearances in all competitions for the Glasgow giants before moving south of the border.
Should he make a remarkable return to Celtic Park, he would likely be competing with the likes of Odsonne Edouard and Leigh Griffiths for a spot up top, should the duo stay this summer.
Controversial. Uncompromising. Leader. C’mon the Hoops’ Keith talks the future of Celtic’s evergreen captain Scott Brown in the video below…
Celtic supporters have taken to social media to have their say on the rumour, and while one said it “should be enough reason for the board to go all out and get Jose Mourinho”, another said they “don’t understand the logic”.
Not everyone was against the idea though, with one saying “yes I would” when discussing whether they would want him back.
Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…
