    Celtic have snapped up promising youngster Kenji Gorre following his release by Manchester United.

    Chelsea tried to take Gorre from United when he was 15 but the club held firm.

    However, the 18-year-old winger - son of current Scotland Under-17s coach Dean Gorre - did not progress as well as hoped at United.

    He was released by the club just before the close of the transfer window and Celtic manager Neil Lennon has stepped in.

    Gorre is training with Celtic and Lennon confirmed: "We have Kenji Gorre in just now.

    "He's been released by Manchester United so we've had him in for a week to have a look at him. He's a winger."
