Celtic hope to keep Gary Hooper despite English interest

22 July 2013 - 16:02

Celtic manager Neil Lennon is hopeful that he can persuade Gary Hooper to stay in Scotland - even though the likes of QPR and Newcastle are considering a move for the player.

  • Fabrizio Romano updates on Nicolas Jackson's future at Chelsea
  • Arsenal suffer big injury blow ahead of Fulham game
  • Hooper has been consistently linked with a move away from Celtic Park and a move to QPR appears to be the preferred location.<br />

    "I have no idea to tell you the truth. But for the time being he is still a Celtic player, he is fit now and a great addition to have for tomorrow night," said Lennon.<br />

    "You never say never (Hooper staying). If things aren't agreed or go through then he will be here for at least another year.<br />

    "I am hoping to speak to him this afternoon. I haven't had much of a chance to see him in the last week or so.<br />

    "I would like to (convince him to stay) but his mind may be elsewhere.
