Celtic news: Club hit back at West Brom after Neil Lennon was blasted for Oliver Burke loan treatment
The Baggies' technical director Luke Dowling said he would not loan another player to Celtic while Lennon was in charge
Celtic have hit back at 'ridiculous and completely inaccurate' comments by West Brom technical director Luke Dowling about Oliver Burke.
The Baggies' technical director criticised Neil Lennon's treatment of the player, who was on loan at Celtic Park from the Championship side.
The Scotland international was signed on loan by former Parkhead boss Brendan Rodgers last January and Dowling was unhappy with the way the 22-year-old was handled by Lennon once he took over.
"Oli Burke will not be going anywhere near Celtic with the current manager," Dowling insisted.

But responding to those claims, Celtic said in a statement: "These comments, which question the professionalism of both Neil and Celtic Football Club, are ridiculous and completely inaccurate. West Brom have made no contact whatsoever with either Neil or the club in relation to Oliver.
"As with every player who comes to Celtic, Oliver received the very best of treatment and every support and opportunity. We wish Oliver the very best for the future."
Burke, who joined West Brom from RB Leipzig in a £15m deal in 2017, scored four goals in 14 games for the club.
