Neil Lennon has been pictured by Glasgow-based shop Forbes Tailoring with two new suits as reported talks to replace Brendan Rodgers at Celtic continue.

Rodgers is expected to be announced as Leicester City’s new manager, after reports claim the former Liverpool and Leicester City manager has “verbally agreed” to replace the sacked Claude Puel.

Celtic are in need of a quick replacement given they sit eight points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership, and are on course to complete a treble treble. BBC Sport claims Lennon is in talks to be given the role.

Forbes Tailoring posted on their Instagram account a picture of a beaming Lennon, holding up two new suits – which could be his new attire for the Celtic job, with BBC Sport claiming that he could be appointed on Tuesday.

Lennon spent four years as manager previously at Celtic between 2010 and 2014, winning three Scottish Premiership title and starting the run of seven consecutive titles. He played for the Hoops for seven years between 2000 and 2007.

The ex-Bolton manager is out of work after leaving Hibernian for an altercation with colleagues. It remains to be seen if Lennon will be made interim manager of the Scottish champions, or he will get the job on a full-time basis.
