Rodgers has been impressed with Kenny’s fitness since returning for pre-season.

But he is weighing up whether to send the striker out on loan ahead of the new season.

Bolton lead a number of clubs interested in £1million-rated Kenny who spent the first half of last season at Shamrock Rovers.

Rodgers said: “I’ve spoken to a few clubs that want Johnny on loan. I want to have a look in pre-season to see where we’re at and see what’s going to be the best for his development.

“We want him to be a Celtic player because he’s a goalscorer.

“It’s what’s going to be the best for him and Celtic, whether that’s here or go away. I’ll assess that over pre-season.”
