Lennon resigned to McGeady departure

CELTIC manager Neil Lennon yesterday admitted he has resigned himself to Aiden McGeady leaving the club and cannot now see him heading anywhere but Spartak Moscow.

Lennon spoke to the midfielder since his visit to Moscow and believes the trip has sold McGeady on the £9.5 million (€11.5m) move.

Celtic lost their final pre-season game 2-1 at home to Blackburn without McGeady being involved and Lennon, who claims he will receive “all the money” from any sale, believes the transfer could be sealed within 24 hours.
