Lennon, who is bidding to lead Celtic to a record-equalling ninth consecutive Ladbrokes Premiership triumph this season, admitted that he will be looking to use the windfall to bring in a replacement for Tierney as well as other players in a variety of positions.
“It’s a lot of money," he said. “I’ll be standing with my hands out. We’ll look to bring another left-back in, no question. And a right back as well. And a left winger. And a right winger. And maybe a centre forward."
Lennon, who has been linked with a move for Kilmarnock and Scotland left back Greg Taylor, believes he will have no difficulty luring quality replacements as well as outstanding young prospects to Celtic in the coming weeks as a direct result of the Tierney sale. He feels it shows the high level a player can get to if he performs well at Parkhead.
His treble treble winners are in a strong position to reach the Champions League play-off against Slavia Prague later this month after drawing 1-1 with CFR Cluj in the first leg of their third qualifying round in Romania on Wednesday evening. He anticipates the prospect of getting into the group stages will strengthen his hand during transfer negotiations as well.
“We want to keep making Celtic an attractive proposition for any player," he said. “We feel we are making steps in the right direction on that. This (the Tierney sale) is a brilliant advertisement for the club and the academy. If we can get into the Champions League then we become a very attractive proposition for a lot of players."
