Neil Lennon was appointed the Celtic manager following the departure of Brendan Rodgers.

Alan Brazil revealed on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT on Monday morning (7:27am, May 20, 2019) that he has been told that the Celtic hierarchy want Neil Lennon to be in charge of the Hoops beyond the summer.

Lennon is the manager of Celtic at the moment, having been appointed in the role in February 2019 following the departure of Brendan Rodgers to Leicester City in the Premier League.

The former Nottingham Forest and Northern Ireland international midfielder was given the Celtic managerial role until the end of the season.

Lennon has already guided the Hoops to the Scottish Premiership title this season and to the final of the Scottish Cup.

Former Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United forward Brazil – who now works as a presenter on talkSPORT and stated in The Sunday Post in July 2017 that he is red-hot Celtic fan – has revealed that he has been told been told that the Hoops hierarchy want Lennon as the manager.

Former Scotland international forward Brazil has also criticised the Celtic fans who have raised doubts over Lennon in recent times.

Brazil said on The Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT on Monday morning (7:27am, May 20, 2019): “I am told that the hierarchy want him to have it, but one or two of the fans don’t, which I find strange.”

Brazil wrote in The Sunday Post: “Some of the comments I’ve heard about Lenny absolutely stink. So I’m delighted he came out swinging in defence of his reputation.

“Neil is just as much of a success at Celtic as a manager as he was as a player. Leading the Hoops to four league titles and two Scottish Cups as gaffer is no joke.”
