Efrain Juarez is hoping Neil Lennon will offer him a second chance to prove his worth at Celtic.[LNB] The Mexican moved to Parkhead from Pumas for £3million last summer, with a productive 2010 World Cup suggesting he had the ability to shine in Scotland.[LNB]He struggled to settle in the Scottish Premier League, though, and made just a handful of league starts for the Bhoys.[LNB]Italian outfit Brescia came close to taking him on loan in January, and reports of an imminent exit have resurfaced since the summer transfer window opened.[LNB]A return to his homeland has been touted, while Primera Liga side Real Zaragoza are also reported to be keen.[LNB]Juarez, though, believes he can make a positive impression on Scottish football and has urged Lennon to offer him another opportunity to stake a claim for a regular role.[LNB]"I want to stay at Celtic if I can get more minutes on the park this season," he said.[LNB]"I report back to the club on Monday and I'll speak to the boss then."
