Brendan Rodgers signed Youssouf Mulumbu for Celtic last summer.

Youssouf Mulumbu has ‘liked’ the tweet from Celtic’s official Twitter account which confirmed Neil Lennon’s return to the club.

Brendan Rodgers sensationally quit Celtic earlier this week to become the new Leicester City manager.

The former Hoops boss brought Mulumbu to Parkhead last summer, but loaned him to Kilmarnock in January after starting him just twice in all competitions during the first half of the season.

Prior to Rodgers’s exit, it seemed as if the 32-year-old – contracted to Celtic until 2020 – had very little future in Glasgow under the Northern Irishman.

But the fact that Lennon is the main man at Lennoxtown for now could be a game-changer for the former West Brom midfielder, who ‘liked’ the tweet about his return.

Ironically, Lennon’s second game since returning to Celtic comes against Hibernian, whom he left only last month.

The Bhoys visit Easter Road in a Scottish Cup quarter-final this evening, and victory would take them closer to the ‘Treble’ treble.
