Brown urges Celtic to keep winning to land Lennon full-time job

Celtic captain Scott Brown has urged his team-mates to keep up their historic ‘treble treble’ charge, which could then land interim boss Neil Lennon the full-time position at Celtic Park, the Daily Record report.

Lennon has only been back with the Hoops for five days but has already managed to guide the club to two victories in Edinburgh during that time.

Celtic dramatically beat Hearts in the week thanks to a late strike from Odsonne Edouard and brushed aside Lennon’s former club Hibernian in the Scottish Cup quarter-finals on Saturday 2-0.

And Brown, who sealed the win against Hibs with his third goal in his last six appearances, admitted after the game how Lennon could earn the role on a full-time basis.

It’s not my decision but the gaffer knows this club inside out. He was brilliant for me the first time round and he’s fantastic for me now. 

So as long as we keep winning we’ll give him the chance to become manager beyond the summer.

Brown then went on to add how the former Celtic midfielder has changed his ways during his second stint in charge of the club.

I kept in touch with Neil the whole time he was away, even when he was down in Bolton. We’ve got a great bond and strong relationship.

He’s more chilled out now. He’s not a ranter and raver. He focuses on training and tactics, how we can break down teams.

Lennon, who spent seven years as a player and four as a manager with Celtic, is looking to claim his 17th and 18th major honours with Celtic by claiming the Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup.
