Celtic are ready to reject any approach from Norwich City for manager Neil Lennon, according to Sky Sports News.

Norwich's current boss, Paul Lambert, is expected to become the new Aston Villa boss in the coming days after offering his resignation yesterday.

This request was rejected by the Canaries but Villa are expected to meet any compensation demands to ensure that the Glaswegian takes over at Villa Park.

Celtic boss Lennon has been reportedly identified as Norwich's number one target to take over from Lambert but the Glasgow club are ready to reject any approach to keep their man.
