Neil Lennon has spoken out about the ‘call of duty’ he received at the end of February to return to Celtic.
A couple of weeks after a strange departure from Hibs things started to move at apace with strange goings on and departures across the country in Glasgow.
Within 24 hours of taking training at Lennoxtown Brendan Rodgers had decided to offer his life to Leicester City with Celtic facing critical away matches at Hearts and Hibs.
“It’s my club, it was my duty.” ????

Lennon answered that call, brought some stability to the club and delivered the results that Rodgers had failed in earlier in the season with victories at Tynecastle and Easter Road.
Over the last month there has been an increasing number of Celtic fans on social media being highly critical of Lennon but so far he has delivered on every objective.
Despite a constant injury list Celtic finished the season one point better off than the hand-over position from Rodgers, after disposing of Hibs and Aberdeen only Hearts stand between Scotland’s first ever treble treble.
