Neil Lennon’s Celtic and Sunderland both reportedly want John Park.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon wants John Park back at the club, according to The Scottish Sun, but it seems that he will miss out on the former Hoops scout to Sunderland in League One in England.

According to The Scottish Sun, Celtic manager Lennon is hopeful of having Park back at the Glasgow giants.

Park worked as a chief scout at Celtic and spotted Victor Wanyama and Virgil van Dijk and worked with Lennon during his first spell as manager of the Bhoys, according to the report.

However, it seems that Lennon will not be reunited with Park, with The Daily Mail reporting that he will join Sunderland as their director of football.

According to The Daily Mail, American businessman Mark Campbell is set to become the new majority shareholder of the Black Cats and will have a 74% stake in the club.

The report has claimed that it would leave current Sunderland owner Stewart Donald with 10% stake in the League One outfit.

Sunderland will play in the third tier of English football next season after failing to win promotion to the Championship via the playoffs.
