Jimmy Bullard in talks with Hull before Celtic decision

JIMMY Bullard held talks with Hull yesterday as he decides whether he has a future at Celtic.

The midfielder, 31, has been targeted by manager Neil Lennon and admits he was impressed by what was on offer while on a recent visit to Glasgow. But he had a meeting with Hull owner Russell Bartlett to discover if he is still a part of the plans at the Tigers.

Bullard said: "I have a big meeting with Hull on Sunday and after that my position should be clearer. I want to see where I stand with them first before I make any decisions on my future. It's purely a football decision for me, it's not about money - not to me at least, although it might be for them.

"I just want to know if I still have a place in their plans but until that is made clear to me I've really no idea where I'll be playing next season."

He added: "The set-up at Celtic is fantastic. I was blown away by the stadium, and the training ground is impressive too. They are both massive and it really made me realise just what a big club it is."

Meanwhile, Wales international Joe Ledley is expected to join Celtic on their pre-season tour of North America once his move to Parkhead is completed.

Celtic kick-off their tour against Philadelphia Union on Wednesday evening, then play Manchester United at the Rogers Centre, Toronto, on Friday, before facing Seattle Sounders on Sunday.
