Neil Francis Lennon (born 25 June 1971) is a Northern Irish football coach and former player who is the manager of Scottish Premiership club Celtic. During his playing career he represented English clubs Manchester City, Crewe Alexandra and Leicester City.
Lennon moved to Scottish club Celtic in 2000, where he made over 200 appearances and was appointed captain in 2005. Before retiring as a player, he returned to England and played for Nottingham Forest and Wycombe Wanderers. Lennon made 40 appearances for Northern Ireland in nine years, scoring two goals. Lennon was appointed manager of Celtic in March 2010, initially in a caretaker capacity after the departure of Tony Mowbray.

Their transformation under Ange Postecoglou would've been scarcely believable to those who made the long journey north that night, but many will have been present again to watch Kyogo Furuhashi and Jota see off Ross County for a victory that puts their side on the brink of becoming champions once again.
They will host Rangers at Celtic Park next Sunday in the knowledge that another three points would all-but put the green and white ribbons on the trophy.It could've been much more comfortable for Postecoglou and his players had they buried a series of first-half chances, but the scenes late on following Jota's clincher displayed just how important both fans and players know these three points to be.
Despite that late relief, it was still a largely comfortable victory against a Ross County side, buoyed by their unlikely ascension to the top six, who never got going.
