As mentioned earlier, Filip Benkovic will return to (Brendan Rodgers'?) Leicester at the end of his loan, while right-back Jeremy Toljan will head back to Borussia Dortmund.

Belgium centre-half Dedryck Boyata will almost certainly leave having been angered by Celtic's rejection of Fulham's summer bid.

Neil Lennon has agreed a deal to return to Celtic Park as interim manager once Brendan Rodgers completes his move to Leicester, write BBC Scotland's Tom English and Kheredine Idessane.

Lennon will take charge of the club until the end of the season but is a strong candidate to take the role permanently in the summer.

He could be in the dugout for Wednesday night’s game against Hearts at Tynecastle - and John Kennedy will be his assistant.

Latest news of Neil Lennon's impending appointment to come shorty...

Conservative shadow cabinet spokesman for finance at the Scottish Parliament Murdo Fraser makes an interesting suggestion about a dual role for Brendan Rodgers.

Scottish television and radio presenter and newspaper columnist Dominik Diamond spells it out for his fellow Celtic fans...

According to Sky Sports News, quoting Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell, two other candidates have been spoken to about the potential managerial vacancy at the Glasgow club along with former boss Neil Lennon.

Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell is even less forthcoming about the possibility of Neil Lennon being named interim boss if Brendan Rodgers joins Leicester.

“He’s the name in the frame and we’re looking at a number of options," he tells the Scottish Sun.

“Neil would certainly be a strong candidate."

Asked about Brendan Rodgers, Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell has told the Scottish Sun: “He hasn’t left Celtic yet - we’re still waiting to hear back from Leicester.

“Brendan’s down there at the moment. I think they’ve got a few things to sort out."

Brendan Rodgers' pending switch to Leicester could be good news for one of Celtic's current squad.

Filip Benkovic is on loan from the English Premier League club and has become a mainstay of Rodgers' defence this season.

The 21-year-old Croat, who is sidelined through injury at present, has made 25 appearances and will hope to cement his place in the Foxes' first-team once he returns there in the summer - now possibly under Rodgers.
