BOLTON manager Neil Lennon has given up on signing Celtic forward Kris Commons this month.

The former Parkhead boss had hoped to use the uncertainty over the former Scotland international's future to his gain and lure Commons south.

But he has now ruled out a late January move after Celtic made it clear the out-of-contract attacker will not be sold in this transfer window.

Lennon told STV: "Celtic have come out publicly and said he's not for sale, he won't be leaving and we haven't pursued that any further.

"I've got a great relationship with Celtic, a great relationship with Peter [Lawwell] and I don't want to damage that.

"People keep asking me about Kris and I feel uncomfortable talking about him because he is Celtic's player at the end of the day."

Commons, was a central figure under Lennon, netting 31 goals in the Northern Irishman's final season in charge.

But under Ronnie Deila, he has been in and out of the side as he was forced to accept his position was not guaranteed.

However, Lennon believes Celtic should look to tap into more than just his playing abilities as he recommended the 31-year-old for a future coaching role with the Hoops.

Lennon said: "It was something that myself and Peter talked about. Kris gets the club, he gets Celtic.

"He was having a great season last year and we talked about it in terms of working again together when his career finished. He's an intelligent boy, I think he'd have plenty to offer on the coaching side of things.

"I think he would be an asset for Celtic in a coaching capacity."

 

Heard he signed a new contract this evening

 

Hope so

 

Read on facebook he'd signed a contract, was that not true?

 

great news if true, a wee boost going into Sunday.

 

Frank McAvennie reckons that Kris Commons is off on Monday, but interestingly Mark Guidi said he thought Celtic might get this over the line.

 

Hope it's true.

 

Off where ? Bolton have all but pulled out

 

Most likely bayern or barcelona

Looks hopeful although would like to know for sure.

 

my gut feeling is he will leave tomorrow if we get in who we want

 

He'll score an absolute sceamer against the huns today and then walk over to the manager and sign an actual contract as part of his celebration.

... Or he'll slip away tomorrow night with the rest of us bewildered as to why we let one of our most influential players leave for * all.

 

Lol well screamer it was, let's hope he stays

Just spoke to Kris Commons - says he's close to signing a new deal. Progress has been made, so looks like a 2 year deal #celtic

 

BREAKING NEWS
Kris Commons confirms he's close to signing a new two-year contract.
Celtic have today agreed a fee with Derry City for Michael Duffy and the winger is currently discussing personal terms ahead of tomorrow's deadline.

 

Halle-*-luja. Sense has been seen. Far from his best today, but almost guarantees goals.

 

Excellent news if it happens. Would rather a one year with an option but I'll settle for the two.

 

I think a two-year contract was always in the cards. I understand they've been haggling about how much should be base pay and how much should be appearance-based for the second year.
