    That would be the best scenario IMHO. I think he certainly deserves that chance if he agrees a new contract he has done enough in pre-season to show he has a chance at Celtic albeit I think a good loan deal is what he needs next. Has to be a decent loan though to preferably a decent spfl side like Aberdeen or Hibernian etc.

    I thought his movement was genuinely very good in that Newcastle game. However, I also thought his finishing was pretty diabolical.

    Agree 100% that he needs a loan where he can get first-team football - however, that's difficult to find for a young striker without many first-team games and goals under his belt.

    He completely whiffed one shot but to be fair Kyogo used to do that every other game too. The way Rodgers talks about his finishing he sounds like our best finisher in training.

    Bolton are hoping to agree a fee for Celtic striker Johnny Kenny this week.
    Wanderers rate Kenny at around £500,000 and now have the cash to offer - with possible extras. Celtic are still keen to get £1 million guaranteed

    Another loan isn't gonna make a massive difference to be fair other than maybe getting us a higher fee.

    He works hard and is apparently a very good finisher but he's miles below the level we require.

    Working harder than Idah isn't enough

    Sadly he's not good enough to be a starter with us. He tries which at least helps.

    If we can get at or about 1m euro for Kenny we should take it IMHO. He has done well this pre-season and looks a decent player but don't see him becoming an important player for us. Kind of a similar scenario I feel to Yang. A decent player who works his socks off and has flashes but I just don't ever see him becoming a key player for us even at a squad level so best for him and us if he is sold.

    Take the money and best of luck. Got his goal last year and hopefully has a good career.

    Honestly, I'd sell Idah before selling Kenny.

    Sell both and sign both.

    Sadly that would mean Lawwell turning the electricity on for the fax machine.

    Tbf, Idah is miles ahead of Kenny..

    CL goals, Cup Final winners.. whether he's going to make it with us who knows.. but Idah has much more to his game..

    I like Kenny’s attitude but I think he is a very limited footballer. I would take something like £750k for him and ask for a big sell on like 40% of profit and if he does well in league 1 we
    May get an extra few quid down the line from him.

    True mate, but Kenny works his bollocks off whereas Idah seems to just think he'll stroll it, and hit 5/6 goals in the conference league against good quality opposition while out on loan at Shamrock Rovers.
