Celtic warned off Burnley target

Celtic have been warned not to make a second bid for Burnley striker Kyle Lafferty.

The Northern Ireland striker was the subject of an offer from Parkhead, reported to be £500,000 (€755,000), which Burnley instantly rejected.

The Coca-Cola Championships side are determined to keep Lafferty at Turf Moor and insist they will not entertain a further approach from Celtic for the 19-year-old.

Manager Steve Cotterill, who insists Lafferty is worth at least £6m (€9.1m), said: “The bid that has been made for Kyle is nowhere near acceptable.

“With those words we are not encouraging anyone to come back with a bigger bid because he is not for sale.”
