orwich have warned they will snub any approach for boss Paul Lambert, who has been linked with the hotseat at Scottish giants Celtic.[LNB] Lambert is currently the bookmakers' second favourite for the Celtic job, with caretaker manager Neil Lennon's odds having lengthened since Saturday's shock Scottish Cup defeat to Ross County.[LNB]Former Celtic midfielder Lambert, 40, has repeatedly stressed he has no interest in a return to the club and Canaries chief executive David McNally told bbc.co.uk: "If anybody came in for him, we would say, 'Your interest is not welcome, you do not have permission to speak to him, please go away'."[LNB]Lambert's stock has grown since taking over at Carrow Road in August and the club are on the brink of the League One title.[LNB]McNally added: "Paul's very happy at Norwich City. He's got a job to do and I know he's looking forward to next season.[LNB]"Of course we all hope we'll be in the Championship. That will bring for all of us some real challenges but I am sure he's planning to take this great club forward."[LNB]Lambert made 193 appearances for Celtic between 1997 and 2005 and has had managerial spells at Livingston, Wycombe and Colchester.
