Celtic striker Johnny Kenny to stay at Parkhead after key talks with Martin O'Neill
Celtic striker Johnny Kenny is set to stay at the club after holding key talks with manager Martin O'Neill. Kenny, 23, was loaned out to Bolton in January but has returned to the Hoops and is now in the mix for a starting spot.
What happened?
Kenny spent the bulk of pre-season recovering from a season-ending knee injury but has now returned to full training. He was loaned out to Bolton in January and scored six goals but missed out on the Championship promotion-clinching win over Stockport at Wembley.
Why it matters for Celtic
Kenny's return to the squad is a boost for Celtic as they look to strengthen their squad for the new season. The club is currently third in the Premiership, 67 points from 33 games, and Kenny's goals could be crucial in their title bid.
What comes next?
Celtic are currently on a 5-game winning run and Kenny's return to the squad could be a key factor in their continued success. The club's next match is against Hearts, who are currently leading the league by 3 points.
Celtic's current form
Celtic are currently on a 5-game winning run, with their last result being a 3-1 win over Hearts on May 16. They have scored 59 goals this season and conceded 35, with a goal difference of +24.
Injury update
Celtic's Jota is currently sidelined due to injury, but Kenny's return to the squad is a welcome boost for the club.
Transfer update
Celtic have loaned out midfielder Paulo Bernardo to Gornik Zabrze, with the Polish side having the option to buy him next summer. Bernardo needed to kickstart his career elsewhere, according to Hoops assistant Shaun Maloney.
Recent form
Celtic's recent form has been impressive, with a 5-game winning run and a 3-1 win over Hearts on May 16. They are currently third in the Premiership, 67 points from 33 games, and Kenny's goals could be crucial in their title bid.
