If a transfer rumour is true, Celtic’s Neil Lennon could be left a tad red-faced.

RMC Sport reported this weekend that Crystal Palace were interested in signing Timothy Weah, who spent the second half of this season on loan at Celtic.

The Paris Saint-Germain starlet enjoyed a brilliant start to life at Parkhead, but that all changed when Lennon replaced Brendan Rodgers on an interim basis.

The 19-year-old, who left Glasgow early this week, started only twice under Lennon, who often refused to even use him as a substitute.

But if he goes to the Premier League and impresses with the Eagles then, well, it just really wouldn’t reflect well on him.

A lot of Celtic fans were crying out for Lennon to use him more than he did, and dazzling in England’s top flight might well prove that the Northern Irishman under-rated his talent.

Weah himself said that he might be open to returning to the Bhoys next season, but if Lennon is still there then he might rethink that wish.
