According to The Scottish Sun, Neil Lennon is in pole position to become the next permanent Celtic manager.

Lennon was appointed the Celtic manager in February 2019 until the end of the season.

The former Hibernian and Bolton Wanderers boss was appointed in the role at Celtic Park following the departure of Brendan Rodgers to Leicester City in the Premier League.

It is Lennon’s second spell as the Celtic manager, with the 47-year-old having been in charge of the Glasgow giants from March 2010 until May 2014.

The Scottish Sun has reported that Lennon is in pole position to get the Celtic managerial role on a permanent basis.

The report, though, has also claimed the Celtic board will consider other managers.

Neil Lennon stay at Celtic?

Lennon has done well since he succeeded Rodgers, and under him, the Hoops look set to win the Scottish Premiership title and could also clinch the Scottish Cup.

While the Celtic board are right to consider other managers, it must be nice for them to know that in Lennon they already have a candidate who is tried and tested.
