Neil Lennon is determined to keep Gary Hooper at Celtic, but is bracing himself for further interest from the Premier League.
Ambition
On the prospect of improved bids being lodged, Lennon added: "I'm hearing that they (Norwich) might come again, but good luck to them on that.
"He's already at a big club and playing in the Champions League. His ambition possibly is to play in the Premier League. He's good enough, there's no question.
"I am not going to stop any of the players' progress because I wouldn't have wanted that done to myself. But I'll do what I think is in the club's best interests.
"I am sure he's on the radar of plenty of clubs, it is just Norwich have come in first."
