Neil Lennon was appointed the Celtic manager following Brendan Rodgers’s departure to Leicester City.
Lennon was appointed as the Celtic manager in February following the departure of Brendan Rodgers to Leicester City in the Premier League.
The former Hibernian and Bolton Wanderers boss has been appointed in the role at Celtic Park until the end of the season.
Former Celtic and Scotland international winger Provan believes that Lennon will be the perfect managerial appointment for Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell, and he has suggested that he is not necessarily what the Glasgow giants need at the moment.
Provan wrote in The Scottish Sun: “Lenny will be the perfect appointment for Lawwell. Unlike Rodgers, who was prepared to take Lawwell on and go above his head if needed, Neil isn’t going to have an ounce of leverage at the club. Trust me, the last thing Celtic need right now is a yes man.
“They require a manager with the balls and reputation to call this board out the way Rodgers did last summer.”
Future Celtic manager?
Lennon was a huge success as the Celtic manager from 2010 until 2014, and there is no doubt that he will do well at the Glasgow giants if he is handed the managerial role at Celtic Park in the summer.
Celtic are as many as 13 points clear of second-placed and bitter Old Firm rivals Rangers at the top of the Scottish Premiership table at the moment.
