Hooper scored twice in the 4-0 win over Dundee United last Tuesday and followed up his double with another goal against St Mirren in Celtic's 3-2 Scottish League Cup defeat on Sunday.

Norwich City are in the frame to sign the 25-year-old, who has 22 goals in 32 appearances in all competitions this term, and the Premier League side have already seen two of their bids rejected.

Celtic boss Neil Lennon believes the forward is likely to stay with the Scottish champions this month.

"I'm pretty sure Gary will be a Celtic player come February 1," he said. "We have had private chats and he is really happy here. He wants to stay, he wants to see out the season and we'll look at the situation then."
