Celtic’s Pennant move could trigger McGeady exit

According to the Daily Mirror, Celtic have tabled an official offer for Liverpool winger Jermaine Pennant.

Pennant, whose contract runs out in the summer, was recently linked with a cash/player swap move to Tottenham that involved Aaron Lennon going to Liverpool. However, Celtic could see him as a replacement for the out-of-favor Aiden McGeady, who could be set for an exit from Celtic after a spat gone too far with manager Gordon Strachan.

With Strachan reportedly in pursuit of Pennant, that could be a sign that Celtic are looking towards a future without McGeady. Bayern Munich and Newcastle have already been linked with McGeady, and Pennant’s potential arrival in Glasgow could lead to concrete offers from those clubs and several more.
