Neil Lennon has confirmed there is 'strong interest' in Aiden McGeady and has not asked if the winger wants to quit Celtic.

Spartak Moscow have made an offer for the Republic of Ireland international and skysports.com revealed earlier in the week that McGeady is deciding whether to leave.

Bhoys boss Lennon has previously suggested that he feels the 24-year-old is looking to move on, but has not discussed the issue with the player.

McGeady missed Celtic's UEFA Champions League defeat by Braga due to injury and Lennon remains uncertain about the attacker's intentions.

Asked if he knew what McGeady wanted, Lennon said: "No. He wanted to play on Wednesday, so that was a good sign, encouraging from our point of view.

"But I haven't really sat down and said, 'Are you away?', or 'Do you want to go?' or anything like that because I don't want to put unnecessary pressure on him."

Big player

Lennon was unable to give any assurance McGeady would stay beyond the end of the transfer window.

"I really can't answer that question," said the Northern Irishman, who confirmed there was a "big bid" on the table.

"Obviously, there's strong interest - not just from Moscow. We do believe there's interest from other clubs as well."

He added: "He's a big player for us and he has been for a number of seasons.

"He was very important to me in the run-in to last season.

"He's a talented player, a very talented player. But every player has his price, and sometimes we can't stand in the way of that.

"If it's right for the club - the offer - and right for the player then it's hard to stop these things going through."
