McGinn to secure Hoops future
iall McGinn is hoping for a phone call from Celtic boss Neil Lennon to find out if his loan to Brentford signals the end of his Hoops career.[LNB] The Northern Ireland winger revealed on Twitter that he was unhappy at missing the Parkhead club's pre-season tour of Australia, which ended on Wednesday with a 1-0 win over Melbourne Victory.[LNB]Lennon said he would speak to McGinn when he returned to Glasgow, but last week the 23-year-old joined Brentford on a season-long loan.[LNB]McGinn, who signed for his boyhood heroes from Derry City in January 2009, returned from the Bees' pre-season trip to Norway yesterday and will drive down to London today to prepare for next season at the League One club.[LNB]"I haven't spoken to the gaffer yet," he said. "It would be nice to hear from him when he gets back from Australia to see where I stand.[LNB]"I was sad to leave but hopefully my future is still at Celtic[LNB]"I would love to come back to Parkhead and I hope I come back a better player next season and Celtic will have a year's option on my contract then.[LNB]"But you never know what's round the corner in football.[LNB]"I see this move to Brentford as an opportunity to show what I can do and kick-start my career.[LNB]"I didn't play much football in the last six months of the season and so I am looking forward to getting some games under my belt."[LNB]McGinn is still coming to terms with the speed of his move to London.[LNB]"The past week has been crazy," he said.[LNB]"One minute I was at Lennoxtown training with the other Celtic players who didn't go to Australia and enjoying it, and the next I am on the way to Norway with Brentford.[LNB]"I had to think quickly about the move when I heard about it, and it was sorted within a couple of hours.[LNB]"But the Brentford boys are a great bunch of lads and I am looking forward to playing there and hopefully replicating the form of Derry City, which got me the move to Celtic in the first place."[LNB]
