Neil Lennon claims that he has become a much calmer manager at Celtic.

Celtic winger James Forrest has told The Scottish Sun that he still thinks Neil Lennon is very similar in his manner to when he first managed the club.

Lennon has returned for his second stint at Parkhead, and Forrest has worked with the Irish boss during both his terms at Celtic.

Lennon claims that he is much calmer this time around, as he has more managerial experience under his belt.

But Forrest doesn’t actually think that Lennon has changed all that much.

“He was buzzing with the win over Lazio and then the clean sheet against Aberdeen,” Forrest said.

“But I still think he is really similar. He has said before that he has calmed down… do I agree with that?

“Maybe to an extent but he is still the same and there are a lot of similarities. You can’t change too much.”

Forrest has been one of Celtic’s most important players in Lennon’s second stint at Parkhead.

The winger has been a constant source of goals for the Bhoys, with the attacker playing some of the finest football of his career in recent years.

Forrest scored again for Celtic at the weekend, as they strolled to a 4-0 success over Aberdeen.

Celtic currently lead the way in the Scottish Premiership, with the Bhoys next in action against St. Mirren tomorrow.
