As the pinned tweet above points out the @siamesebhoy Twitter account definitely isn’t being run by Neil Lennon.

It is certainly an easy assumption to make.

Almost every tweet makes some reference to the former Celtic manager, the others are sympathetic to contacts of Lennon and highlighting how difficult a job management is.

Over the weekend the account, which resembles the writing style of @greatpantheon18 was especially busy. Martin Reilly, Lennon’s agent has made one visit to Twitter since trying to defend Celtic’s 2-0 derby defeat last October.

This weekend turned up a couple of useful anniversaries, in 2019 Celtic won away to Lazio which fell seven years after Tony Watt delivered a famous win at home to Barcelona.

Siamesebhoy couldn’t resist highlighting those anniversaries. Self-pity seems to be the starting point for the account wallowing in the successes of an out of work manager.

It is now more than eight months since Lennon resigned from Celtic, on the back of his second defeat of the season to Ross County. It seems that management offers have been very thin on the ground.

Some media work has come Lennon’s way but former team-mates Chris Sutton and John Hartson seem to have the most lucrative gigs tied up.

As a fall-back Lennon has his friends at Radio Scotland to call on but laughing and joking with Kenny MacIntyre and Tom English is a bit of a come-down for one of Europe’s top coaches and managers.
