eil Lennon would allow Sol Campbell to miss Celtic's opening Champions League qualifier to go on honeymoon if he were to sign on at Parkhead.[LNB] Lennon is extremely keen to land the Arsenal man, and is reportedly ready to give him a two-year, £35,000-a-week deal, while the Gunners only want to offer a one-year contract.[LNB]But Lennon has also told the 35-year-old he can jet off with wife-to-be Fiona straight after their mid-July wedding which means he would also be absent for most of the four-game North American pre-season tour.[LNB]Celtic are due to report back for pre-season training on July 1, and likely to fly out to America on the 12th.[LNB]They face a crucial Champions League third qualifying round first-leg tie on July 28-29 with the return on August 4-5.[LNB]"I'm getting married on July 17," Campbell told the Scottish Sun. "But Neil's told me he's quite flexible, that if I need ten days-two weeks honeymoon then he'll be fine with that.[LNB]"That really makes me happy because if I'm not happy, and my family's not happy, then you're not going to play your best football are you?[LNB]"If I were to sign for Celtic then I'm likely miss the first leg of the European tie.[LNB]"I don't know who Celtic will get, but hopefully it would be someone that would give them a good chance of progressing.[LNB]"It's a difficult one, but I can't move my wedding.[LNB]"Football's very important to me and I would give Celtic everything if I sign."
