Johnny Kenny Vows 20-Goal Return to Fight for Celtic Place

If he hits his target of 20 goals he says he could reduce Celtic's need to buy a striker.

Overview

  • Johnny Kenny has publicly declared he can become a 20-goal striker for Celtic, a claim made in an interview with Record Sport.
  • He suffered an LCL knee injury while on loan at Bolton but says he will not need surgery and expects to be fit for Celtic's first week of pre-season.
  • Kenny scored six goals in 14 appearances for Bolton after joining on loan in January and played a key role in their push to promotion.
  • The 22-year-old is under contract at Celtic until 2029 and says he intends to return to Lennoxtown to fight for a first-team place rather than extend his stay at Bolton.
  • Celtic enter the summer without a confirmed manager and are widely expected to target an established striker, so Kenny's recovery and scoring claims could influence whether the club buys a forward or gives him a greater chance.
