Kenny has a meagre buyout clause of €150,000 (around £125,000). The deal will include add-ons that will benefit Rovers.

In helping Rovers qualify for the Uefa Europa Conference League, he scored 11 goals in 33 matches last season.

Despite his top-shelf numbers in the League of Ireland, Kenny is expected to start playing with the Celtic B side who compete in the Lowland League, Scotland’s fifth tier.
