Image for Lennon reveals unexpected source of support

Neil Lennon has revealed that Brendan Rodgers remains in regular contact following Celtic’s fortunes.

Towards the end of February Rodgers decided to dedicate his life to Leicester City, heading to the Midlands after taking a training session at Lennoxtown with Lennon parachuted in to take charge of a critical match against Hearts the next day.

In one move Rodgers destroyed any legacy that he would leave at Celtic with supporters seeing through his gushing insincerity as he spun similar lines to Leicester as he had delivered from the day he arrived in Glasgow back in 2016.

It will be a long long time before the former Liverpool boss gets even a lukewarm reception from Celtic supporters but he is within a unique group of men that understand the pressure that Neil Lennon is operating under.

I spoke to Martin on Friday and I’ll probably have another catch-up Friday or Saturday morning,” the current Celtic boss told the Daily Record. “He’s pleased for me, put it that way.

It’s normally me ringing Martin because he’s like Lord Lucan and disappears off the face of the earth for about seven years but he’s great. I owe him a lot and I think he’s pleased to see me doing okay.

I have spoken to Brendan. We talk before games or text so I’m sure we’ll be in touch. He was delighted when we won the league and if we do the Treble he’ll be as delighted as anyone.

I speak to Gordon regularly as well. To have that sort of shoulder to lean on now and again is brilliant. You value that stuff, of course you do. Brendan, Martin, Gordon, they’re the best people to speak with. They know what it’s like. They’ve travelled in these shoes before.”

Lennon will head off to Marbella for a short break on Monday with an announcement on the permanent manager of Celtic expected next week.
