Celtic: Thomas Rogne rejects offer of new contract
Last updated on .From the section Football

Celtic defender Thomas Rogne has rejected the offer of a new contract, manager Neil Lennon has confirmed.
The 22-year-old joined the club on a three-and-a-half-year deal in 2010.
"Rogne has been offered a contract but it has been refused," said Lennon. "We may go back to him with another offer but no guarantees on that.
"We don't want it to fester on, we want a result one way or the other. Thomas is a good player and we would like to keep him around."
Capped twice for Norway, former Stabaek player Rogne has made 62 appearances for Celtic.
"He has had to be patient because Efe Ambrose, Charlie Mulgrew and Kelvin Wilson have done exceptionally well, but whenever Thomas has come in he has never let us down," Lennon added.
The Celtic boss says the club will discuss Paddy McCourt's situation, with the winger out of contract in the summer.
"We will talk to Paddy and his representatives over the next couple of months," Lennon said.
Club captain Scott Brown will discover on Monday whether he needs an operation on his hip problem.
"The specialist is coming back with his prognosis," explained the manager. "He may need surgery but we won't know that until Monday, the specialist is on holiday at the minute.

"We are expecting the specialist to say he may need surgery so as soon as we get him a slot, if that is the case, then we will get it done.
"He is a very important player, the captain, but the squad is strong."
Meanwhile Lennon, whose side are 19 points clear at the top of the Scottish Premier League, insists "there is nothing I can do" about any potential drop in attendances.
And he added: "Bayern Munich are 15 points clear in their league, Man United are 12 points clear in their league so why is it just exclusive to us?
"Gates are down all over Europe, there is a recession on and a lot of people are feeling the pinch.
"We have a great support and we have had since my time here and before that."

Those slating Wilson and praising Rogne clearly haven't seen much of Celtic this season.
i like rogne and i reckon he has a lot to offer the club in the future.
"Stay and vomit in your own home, urinate in the corner of your own sitting room, fight with your own neighbours Celtic (who deserve a medal for putting up with you) and foul the streets of Glasgow. Don't come back to Barcelona, you're an embarrassment." El Mundo Deportivo, after Barcelona v RFC, 2007
On the important point in this report, I do not blame Thomas Rogne. He's a far better centre back that Wilson, who wouldn't get a game in our back green.
No other club that has ever been liquidated claims to have their history still in tact. You mob are like a second Liverpool, you can't accept that your rubbish now and use the history card at any given opportunity
As for their 'history,' how many times have AFC Wimbledon won the FA Cup? How many times have AFC Telford won the Second tier of English football?
When you die, your history does to. Fact.

Celtic 2012/13 average attendance: 45,992
Rangers 2011/12 average attendance: 46,324
Rangers 2010/11 average attendance: 45,305
Rangers 2009/10 average attendance: 47,564
So our "tiny" crowds are still equal to what Rangers were pulling in over the last few years. Hardly a "crisis" wouldn't you say?
Rangers average 2012/13: 46,780
Rangers average 2011/12: 46,324
Celtic average 2012/13: 45,992
Celtic average 2011/12: 50,904.
Paying £10 a week now against poor teams doesnt make you an amazing support, it reflects that you need cheap tickets to bother. The 45,992 paying £30 a game are far superior.
