Celtic boss Neil Lennon helped his side into the Scottish Cup final yesterday.

Celtic boss Neil Lennon has suggested to the Herald Scotland that Dermot Desmond simply told him to ignore all the speculation over his future this weekend.

Celtic appointed Lennon on a contract until the end of the season after Brendan Rodgers departed for Leicester City.

Lennon has a strong record since taking charge of the Bhoys now, and has helped to the final of the Scottish Cup.

Celtic won 3-0 against Aberdeen yesterday to boost Lennon’s claim to get the job on a permanent basis.

However, the Bhoys boss insists that he is intending to just get on with his job at Parkhead.

“Whether it has any impact on my future, I don’t know. I spoke to Dermot on Saturday and he said all the speculation is just noise and nonsense,” Lennon said.

“I knew that anyway because these are class people I work for. I’ve worked for them before and know the way they work. So I know it’s just conjecture and speculation. They leave me to get on with the job which is obviously reassuring. But I didn’t need that reassurance anyway.”

Celtic scored their goals against Aberdeen against James Forrest, Odsonne Edouard and Tom Rogic.

Lennon’s side still remain on course to win the treble again this season for the third season in succession.
