Neil Lennon will be hoping to guide Celtic to another Scottish Premiership title.
BBC Sport pundit Dion Dublin has labelled Celtic manager Neil Lennon as an ‘absolute nutter’ and backed him to win the treble at the club.
The Northern Irishman returned to Parkhead in February when Brendan Rodgers made the surprise decision to leave for Premier League side Leicester City.
Prior to Rodgers departure, the Bhoys already had one trophy in the bag and were well clear of their rivals in the Scottish Premiership title race.
Speaking to Football Focus on BBC One (30/03/2019 12:55 pm) Dublin, who played with Lennon during his brief time at Celtic, backed him former captain to produce the goods in these final few months.
“I wouldn’t put it past him [to do the treble],” Dublin told Football Focus. “He was my captain at Celtic. I was only at Celtic for a very short time, I was very lucky to do the double. He was the leader at Celtic, he was the captain. Absolute nutter!
“Absolute passion in the heart to win games. For the players around him to have the same standards as him. He will go back to Celtic and he will make sure those players want to win everything.”
If Celtic do end up lifting the remaining trophies in Scotland then they will end up winning the treble-treble, mainly thanks to Rodgers’ trophy-laden spell.
On Sunday, they host bitter rivals Rangers on home soil, with their Glasgow neighbours 10 points behind them in the table.
During the reverse fixture, Steven Gerrard’s side recorded a 1-0 win, but Lennon, who is still unbeaten since returning, will be hoping to gain revenge for that Ibrox defeat.
Lennon won’t be fazed with the job he has to complete in front of him. He has been in these situations before as a player and a manager.
