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.
Celtic have their eye on Ten in a Row next term and would love to bring back Fraser Forster to help them achieve it. Retaining his Southampton pal Mohamed Elyounoussi would also be a major coup for Neil Lennon.
The Parkhead has been linked with the likes of Shon Weissman, Ivan Toney and Aaron Hickey in recent weeks.Keeping Odsonne Edouard, of course, is also among his top priorities.Rangers have been busier than most in recent weeks and they sealed a deal for keeper Jon McLaughlin following his release from Sunderland, adding to the arrivals of Ianis Hagi and Calvin Bassey.
