Celtic midfielder Ryan Christie has excelled so far this season.
Lennon was managing Hibernian at the beginning of the campaign, before moving to Celtic more recently.
Christie has been injured for a chunk of the time since Lennon took charge, but he has put in strong displays since making it off the treatment table in recent weeks.
And Lennon said: “I tried to get Ryan to Hibs at the start of the season before he made his impact here. There was talk of John McGinn signing for Celtic and we were very keen to take Ryan to Hibs. It’s obviously worked out well for him and I’m looking forward to see more of him on the pitch.”
Christie scored for Celtic in midweek, as they picked up a 2-0 win over St. Mirren.
The Scottish international was quieter yesterday though, as Celtic failed to beat Livingston at Parkhead.
Celtic struggled to break down the Livingston defence, and could only pick up a 0-0 draw in the contest.
The Bhoys still have a very healthy advantage at the top of the Scottish Premiership table, but even Lennon has admitted that they are not firing on all cylinders, and they will be looking to improve in the coming weeks.
