Celtic have offered the managerial role to Neil Lennon.

Celtic midfielder Scott Brown has revealed to BBC Sport how the players have reacted to the news that Neil Lennon has been offered the managerial job.

The Glasgow giants have announced on their official Twitter page that they have offered Lennon the managerial role on a full-time basis.

The Hoops made the announcement following the Hoops’ success over Scottish Premiership rivals Heart of Midlothian in the final of the Scottish Cup on Saturday afternoon.

Celtic got the better of Hearts 2-1 at Hampden Park in Glasgow to clinch the domestic treble for the third year in a row.

The Daily Record has quoted Lennon as suggesting that he has accepted the role as the Celtic manager on a full-time basis.

The former Northern Ireland international midfielder was appointed the Celtic manager in February 2019 until the end of the season following the departure of Brendan Rodgers to Premier League outfit Leicester City.

Celtic midfielder Brown has disclosed how the players have reacted to the announcement regarding Lennon.

BBC Sport quotes Brown as saying when asked about the players’ reaction to the Lennon announcement: “It’s phenomenal. It can’t get much better. We all found out on Twitter and all the lads are diving about in the changing room.

“We went out, got the gaffer and brought him back in. The cheer for the manager to get the job – it was phenomenal.

“He deserves it. It has been a hard one since he came in but he’s the only man in my eyes for the job.”
