Former Celtic striker Chis Sutton believes that Neil Lennon is the only man that should be considered as a potential replacement for Brendan Rodgers.
Speaking in his column for Record Sport about a possible return to the club for Lennon, Sutton explains why he is the man for the job.
They say you should never go back but I’m absolutely convinced [Lennon] would. I can’t imagine he could say no and there’s no better character around with credentials as impressive who knows the workings of the cub and what the fans want. Lennon was the one who took the first three titles in this current run of seven.
Sutton is also not ruling out the prospect of Rodgers prolonging his stay at the club.
If Rodgers stays as he says he will, then that’s great for Celtic. But if he goes, there is only one place to look and that’s Lennon.
This follows claims from Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas, who claimed the club have their former boss on their radar as they begin to prepare for life without the former Liverpool boss.
Rodgers has attracted a lot of interest in the summer from England, while he also revealed he turned down a big-money offer from China.
It is not believed that a departure from the club is imminent, but the recent interest in Rodgers has sparked talk about who could replace him.
Lennon’s work at Hibernian has not gone unnoticed after guiding them back to the top flight.
Ahead of the meeting between the two sides this weekend, the teams are placed second and third in the league respectively.
