Watt, who scored twice on his debut against Motherwell at Fir Park last month, played alongside Hooper in a friendly against Norwich City at Carrow Road on Tuesday evening. The 18-year-old was delighted to learn afterwards that manager Neil Lennon is confident of keeping the Englishman, who scored 29 goals in total in the 2011/12 campaign, at Parkhead.
