Celtic star praises decision to offer Neil Lennon the job.
Celtic defender Kristoffer Ajer has given the thumbs up to the club’s decision to appoint Neil Lennon on a permanent basis.
Ajer told the Glasgow Evening Times he believes the Celtic board have made the right call.
He also feels the timing of the decision is wise, eradicating any more uncertainty over the manager.
Ajer said: “He’s been fantastic these last few months. It was just a really good day and for him to be offered the job was great news as well.
“It’s very positive to have it decided quite early rather than have uncertainty. It’s not long before we are back for pre-season so it’s good to have it settled.”
Ajer has been one of the beneficiaries from Lennon’s time in charge, solidifying himself as a regular in central defence.
The young Norwegian has little reason to say anything negative about his manager, who completed the third leg of the treble this weekend.
Lennon is seen by some as an uninspiring appointment, but he needs time to put his own stamp on the squad. He will get the time and money to do so this summer.
