Freddie can be my VIP not an OAP, says Lennon

NEIL LENNON believes those who consider transfer target Freddie Ljungberg to be too old for the frantic world of Scottish football need only look across Glasgow to Rangers’ veteran skipper Davie Weir.

The former Arsenal star, 33, is training with the Parkhead club this week with a view to a deal but there are mixed opinions about the potential signing of a midfielder who played latterly in the USA after injuries blighted his time at West Ham.

However, the Celtic boss claimed the Swedish legend, who trained for the first time with the Hoops on Monday, is still in good condition and positively youthful in comparison to 40-year-old Weir, who remains a mainstay of the Ibrox defence.
