Neil Lennon is not willing to even consider bids for his captain Scott Brown after Newcastle were linked with a move for the midfielder. Next summer sees Brown's Celtic contract end and he has attracted interest from the Magpies due to his strong displays last season.
Lennon said: "We opened preliminary talks with Scott at the end of last season. He's on record as saying he wants to stay at Celtic and that is something I'm very pleased about. I'm hoping to get him tied down. I wouldn't be surprised if there's interest as he was magnificent last season. I'd be unwilling to sell him and I'd rebuff any offers."
