News about Neil Lennon

Even before a ball had been kicked in Sunday's game against Aberdeen, Nick Montgomery sounded like a man under pressure. In a pre-match interview, the Hibs boss spoke about his team's xG (expected goals) and how they really ought to be higher up the league table. As soon as a manager starts wheeling out the XG stats, it is invariably a tell-tale sign they are feeling the heat.

FURIOUS former Celtic manager Neil Lennon last night hit out at Parkhead fans after Rangers captain James Tavernier was targeted by missiles towards the end of yesterday's Old Firm derby. The Ibrox right-back was showered with objects - one of which was reportedly a marijuana grinder - as he prepared to take a corner in front of the area which houses the ultras element of the Celtic support. The incident will no doubt become the subject of an investigation after Tavernier handed one item to referee Willie Collum.

GRAEME SOUNESS: I don't get the pass the buck culture at Manchester United, it's an old cliche but look in the bloody mirror. It's a trend of the modern game to hear players disconnecting with the coach because they are unsure whether he will be manager come the summer, they blame his tactics, the coaching, the selection. As a player, when my team played badly it was OUR fault. It wasn't the manager's, it wasn't the tactics, it wasn't down to the coaches' messages, it was down to us.

CHRIS WHEELER: Despite the inherent danger of serious injury or shame, several players love the flamboyant goal celebrations. The knee joint has deteriorated. Bruno Fernandes, the new Premier League star to play it at Old Trafford on Sunday, after scoring an impressive goal for Manchester United from the centre circle in a 2-2 draw with Liverpool. Fernandes stopped two tramlines in the pristine turf as he slid for several yards on his knees and then returned to his feet in a single smooth motion as he turned around to the corner flag. Out of ten, eight out of ten.

Calum CROWE: Graeme Souness and Neil Lennon know what it takes to win in a championship run as two men who have been over the course and distance more times than they would like to mention. Both as participants and as administrators on both sides of the Old Firm divide, they know the pressures and demands that come with their positions. For the two Old Firm icons, there comes a time in the season where experience can only be relied on, and it would appear that juncture has been achieved.

TEMHEN MCGOWAN: The first British side to win Europe football's most coveted club trophy has now become the first British club to play in 15 games without losing a single game in the competition. An extraordinary european tradition is being shattered by the Lisbon Lions' historic past. Since qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League under Neil Lennon in December 2012, the Parkhead outfit has played 29 group-stage games. They have won two, drawn six, and lost 21, taking 12 points from a potential 87 with a goal difference of minus 57. All UEFA tournaments and knock-out games have been extended, with 16 victories in the last decade, including two in Conference League ties. Six years ago, the Champions League's last victory of any description was decided.

Following the FAI's decision not to give Stephen Kenny another contract, Roy Keane currently ranks as the 3/1 favourite with Sky Bet to become the next Republic of Ireland manager. Lee Carsley and Neil Lennon are joint second-favourites at 4/1, respectively, while Neil Warnock and Sam Allardyce round out the five top-backed candidates at 8/1 and 12/1 respectively, for those who aren't tipping Keane to get the gig.

DANNY MURPHY: Former Coach Barry Bennell's sexual assault has rocked crewe Alexandra in recent years, but many good people stayed at Gresty Road to try to recover from the worst of times. Danny Murphy, a former footballer who rose from League Two, speaks to current Alex Grant, who discusses the past and how the club is progressing with the support of survivors. My own experience with Crewe Alexandra was positive. They took me from a council estate in Chester and made me the player who adored success with Liverpool and England. On the wall at Gresty Road with other well-known alumni, including David Platt, Robbie Savage, Geoff Thomas, Neil Lennon, Seth Johnson, Dean Ashton, Ashley Westwood, and Nick Powell, there is a picture of me. It's a new record for such a small club, and it should rightfully be proud.

While serving as a pundit on a live panel display, Celtic boss Neil Lennon was accused of pausing mid-sentence to let out a fart. Fans rushed to social media to alert the incident, which took place live on air during PLZ Soccer's The Football Show. Lennon paused and seemed to break wind while discussing Celtic's 1-0 victory over Rangers on Sunday before continuing his review of the Old Firm's derby.

Real Sociedad is said to be in talks with Manchester United to get Donny van de Beek on loan. In Manchester United's 1-0 pre-season victory over Lyon earlier this month, the midfielder scored the winner in an emotional return to the pitch for the former Ajax player after a lengthy injury layoff. The 26-year-old has struggled with several injuries over the past few seasons, most notable being forced to withdraw from the sport for the second half of the season in January.

Neil Lennon believes that a transfer to Celtic could help Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek re-launch his career. Van de Beek joined Ajax in 2020 but has suffered a lot due to a lack of regular starts and injuries. In response to rumors that United are going to allow the Dutchman to leave, Celtic have been linked to a move for van de Beek.

JOHN MCGARRY: Even if both sides are keen on getting a deal done, Neil Lennon believes the likelihood of Kieran Tierney returning to Celtic is 'a long shot.' When the Northern Irishman was in his second spell as boss in Glasgow, the Parkhead academy graduate was sold for £25 million in 2019. Tierney had a stellar start to his career in North London, but he has since been laid off to Oleksandr Zinchenko, who has been drafted to Oleksandr Zinchenko.

After being linked to Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham, Neil Lennon wondered if Kyogo Furuhashi has what it takes to cut it at the top of the English Premier League. As the Australian led Celtic to the Treble last season, the Japanese forward scored 34 goals. The 28-year-old man was expected to move to North London after being refused a £4.6 million purchase at the outset of Postecoglou's tenure.

Ramon Vega has been on both directions of the fence that Ange Postecoglou has recently jumped. Martin O'Neill, a league Cup winning defender with Tottenham Hotspur, met with Celtic at the turn of the century, winning the club's first Treble since 1969. The 52-year-old is unambiguous in his opinion when asked to compare the team's scale after leaving Celtic Park last week.

Ange Postecoglou has been named as the Premier League's next manager. After leading Celtic to another domestic Treble last weekend, the Australian made it clear he wanted to leave and now he has signed a four-year contract in north London. Mail Sport's BRIAN MARJORIBANKS assesses some of the runners and riders who will face the Scottish champions, who is highly admired.

CHIEF FOOTBALL WRITER STEPHEN McGOWAN BROTHERS FOR THE SCOTTISH DAILY MAIL: A petrol bomb planted on the streets of a wealthy Glasgow suburb sparked the fire that led to Tottenham Hotspur. After agreeing to a three-year contract, the 57-year-old is on the verge of taking over as the new Spurs boss, but not long ago, he was being dismissed and mocked for moving to the SPL. Celtic were laying the foundations for Eddie Howe's replacement as their new manager in May 2021. In rancour, recrimination, and Neil Lennon's departure, a doomed to win his tenth consecutive league title had come to an end. Supporters' outrage is being sparked by supporters' inability, so attempts to get a firm commitment from Howe were dragging on. A fire bomb attack on Celtic's Chief Executive – now Chairman – Peter Lawwell's family home in the dead of night brought a red flag to his future as Newcastle's next chief executive.

Inverness, a behemoth toe, will give Postecoglou's team a clean sweep of domestic trophies, making it five out of six available since he arrived from Yokohama F Marinos in Japan in June 2021. However, increasing rumors over Postecoglou's future have dominated much of the game's build-up, with rumors that the former Australia head coach is Tottenham's new managerial candidate.

Tottenham is expected to step up their quest for Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou, but only after the Scottish Cup final this weekend. Following Arne Slot's demise last week from Dutch team Feyenoord, the former Australia national team manager is a leading contender for the position at Spurs. Postecoglou's left-field arrival from Japan's Yokohama F Marinos in June 2021 revived Celtic in dramatic style after the club's search for a ten-in-a-row collapsed under Neil Lennon as rivals Rangers defeated Scotland in the Scottish championship under Steven Gerrard.

After a convincing victory over Livingston on Sunday afternoon, Celtic moved further ahead of Rangers. Kyogo Furuhashi had scored within ten minutes at Almondvale Stadium, Greg Taylor doubled the lead in the second half, and although Giorgos Giakoumakis failed to score with a late penalty, Jota kept the three points up. As a result, Ange Postecoglou's Hoops extend their lead at the top of the Scottish Premiership to four points over Rangers, a bitter rival. More information will follow.

Since the Moldovan side's boss resigned, Manchester United has been given a boost ahead of their Europa League visit from Sheriff Manuel Lazarescu. Stjepan Tomas, the county's first league loss of the season, just two days before going to Old Trafford. At the loss to Petrocub, Tomas, who took over in the summer, was left furious. 'It seems that the players were worried about the game in Manchester, there was no energy,' he said later. This is my mistake.'

Omonia Nicosia fired Neil Lennon after seven months as boss. After losing 1-0 to Nea Salamis on Tuesday night, the Cypriot club now ranks seventh in the Division One table. Omonia has suffered several losses in the Europa League lately, with the most recent one descending on Thursday.

Why ask the manager, who brought Virgil van Dijk to Britain and was later in charge of the first British team to face Erling Haaland. Neil Lennon has a unique insight into the Premier League's best striker and defender match. Haaland has exploded into English football like no one before. He has scored in 13 games, numbers that haven't been achieved since the 1920s.

Following Manchester United's disappointing result against Omonia in the Europa League, Paul Scholes (top right) has branded Antony (centre) a 'one-trick pony,' as well as attacking Jadon Sancho (left) and Erik ten Hag's defense (bottom right, left-back Tyrell Malacia). During the Red Devils' Europa League 3-2 win over the Cypriot side, the Brazilian and his colleagues were not at his best, although he did come close to scoring in the first half with a long-range effort. After the game, manager Erik ten Hag said that his team was too tymie in a first-half that saw them fall behind to Neil Lennon's unfancied side.

Manchester United's UEFA Europa League continues to be a source of mystery and wonder. The Reds are now set to face Cypriot opposition for the first time in their long and illustrious European history after playing their first-ever match in Moldova last month. However, the GSP Stadium has hosted United previously, beginning with a 3-0 loss to Israeli team Maccabi Haifa, who was then forced to play on neutral ground in the 2002-03 first group phase. On Thursday night, he'll be a familiar face in the opposition's ruckus against AC Omonia Nicosia. When Neil Lennon was a Leicester City player and later played for Celtic against them in the 2006-07 Champions League, he had many a tense midfield battle against them.
