  "account": "Bolton Wanderers remain uncertain about the possibility of reuniting with Celtic striker Johnny Kenny in the summer. The Republic of Ireland forward made a significant impact during his loan spell at the Lancashire club last season, scoring six goals and providing three assists as Bolton secured promotion to the Championship. However, his future at Celtic is currently unclear due to an injury that has kept him out of the team's initial matches and increased competition in the attack position. Martin O'Neill has bolstered his forward options this summer, potentially leaving Kenny with a difficult decision regarding his future. Bolton's manager, Steven Schumacher, acknowledged his high regard for Kenny, having previously attempted to sign him in January but ultimately failing as Celtic needed him in their squad. Schumacher expressed his desire to work with Kenny again, but admitted to questions surrounding both Celtic's plans for the striker and Bolton's financial capacity to bring him back to the club.",
