Celtic boss Neil Lennon is still hoping his side will make further additions in the transfer market before the end of the month.

Celtic Manager Neil Lennon arrives for the UEFA Europa League Play Off First Leg match between Celtic and AIK at Celtic Park on August 22, 2019 in Glasgow, United Kingdom.

Celtic boss Neil Lennon has suggested to the Daily Echo that he is still looking to add a left-back at Parkhead this summer.

Celtic have been linked with both Greg Taylor and Birger Meling, as they aim to cover for the departure of Keiran Tierney.

Celtic have already brought in Boli Bolingoli-Mbombo, but Lennon wants even more cover in the left-back position.

And when asked whether Celtic were looking to bring in a left-back, he said: “We’re looking at options. We’ve shown interest in quite a number of players, but you have to show a bit of patience with these things.

“We are still looking to strengthen that area.”

Whether Celtic will be able to reach a deal for Taylor or Meling remains to be seen.

Kilmarnock seem determined to receive a sizeable fee for Taylor, while Rosenborg also want to keep hold of Meling.

It gives Celtic a challenge if they are to sign either of the pair from their current clubs.

Celtic will have to make do with what they have tonight though, as Lennon’s side are set to take on AIK in the Europa League.

The Bhoys go into the game protecting a 2-0 advantage they have built up from the first-leg.
