Neil Lennon reveals pact with Peter Lawwell not to sell star striker Celtic manager Neil Lennon and club chief executive Peter Lawwell have made an agreement not to sell Gary Hooper in the final hours of the transfer window. Speculation about the striker's future has been at the forefront of transfer gossip for much of the past two weeks, with Hooper linked to Norwich City and Tottenham Hotspur amongst others. Lennon is reportedly confident of keeping the forward at Parkhead after the window slams shut on Thursday night, and revealed that Lawwell is on the same page as him with regards keeping hold of the striker - even if they receive a late flurry of big-money bids on Thursday evening. Norwich are reportedly preparing an £8 million bid plus add-ons, whilst former Celtic manager Martin O'Neill, now at Sunderland, is also keeping an eye on the situation. Celtic had a bid knocked back for the "Ghana Messi" Frank Acheampong, according to the player's club Buriram United. The Thailand-based player was on trial at Parkhead but has now joined Belgian side Anderlecht on loan, after a reported £600,000 bid from Celtic was turned down. The Parkhead club are also weighing up a move for Swedish keeper Viktor Noring. The 21-year-old, currently attached to Trelleborgs, trained at Lennoxtown yesterday and could be brought in to challenge first team "keepers Fraser Forster and Lukasz Zaluska. On-loan stopper Lubos Kamenar had his loan terminated earlier this month. SFL clubs hint at 12-12-10-10 structure The Scottish Football League could knock back the 12-12-18 plans agreed by all 12 SPL clubs yesterday in favour of a 12-12-10-10 structure. The SFL board were asked to adopt an 18-team lower division or bring in more teams to create two 10-team leagues, and despite initially agreeing to the latter, they could now throw a spanner in the works by bringing up an alternative structure after Rangers complained about the prospect of them winning the SFL3 title but remaining in the bottom tier.
