Kennedy close to new Celtic deal
14/04/2004 - 10:32:34Injured Celtic defender John Kennedy is set to be handed a new deal within the next few weeks.
Kennedy is currently in Colorado receiving treatment from world-renowned surgeon Dr Richard Steadman after shattering his knee during his Scotland debut at the end of last month.
He will be sidelined for at least a year but Hoops boss Martin O’Neill promised the injury would not affect his plans to offer the 20-year-old a new contract and a new two-year deal could be signed within weeks.
O’Neill said: “It makes absolutely no difference whatsoever in terms of John’s contract negotiations and we will be tying up all the loose ends in the next few weeks.”
