Lennon disappointed by Redknapp approach

Celtic boss Neil Lennon has expressed his disappointment in Spurs manager Harry Redknapp over his pursuit of striker James Forrest.

The Spurs boss sent a scout to track the 20-year-old in the Hoops' 0-0 draw with Hibernian last weekend.

After the match, Redknapp told BBC Scotland that he liked the player, something which Lennon didn't take kindly to.

"I don't like other managers talking about players who are contracted to our club," said Lennon.

"James is progressing very well and we want him to progress here.

"It doesn't surprise me that other clubs are sending their scouts to watch him because he has been playing so well and so consistently."

The Bhoys host French side Rennes in the Europa League on Thursday.
