Celtic will be appointing a permanent manager this summer.
Harry Redknapp has told The Scottish Sun that there is ‘no chance’ he’ll be making a run to become the new Celtic manager.
Celtic saw manager Brendan Rodgers leave the club for Leicester City in February, making an abrupt exit to return to the Premier League.
After nearly three years in charge, Rodgers left Celtic in the lurch, but they moved quickly to bring back Lennon as their interim manager, almost five years since leaving the Bhoys.
Lennon had left Hibs just a few weeks earlier, so the timing was just perfect for Celtic, as they were able to bring in an interim manager who knew the club inside out.
Lennon is yet to lose since returning as Celtic boss, but the brand of football hasn’t been quite as impressive, and the goals have dried up a little in league games.
Celtic may yet consider other candidates for the job despite Lennon being the favourite, but one manager who won’t be in the mix is Harry Redknapp.
The 72-year-old has admitted that he likes Lennon, and whilst he could do the job at Parkhead, he claims there’s ‘no chance’ of him landing the job, joking that he’s too busy doing pantomimes now.
“I like Neil and he’s done well since he’s come into Celtic. I wouldn’t be in the running for a job like that, no chance,” said Redknapp. “I could do it but they’ve got Neil Lennon and I’m too busy doing pantomime and stuff like that!” he added.
