NEIL LENNON is no longer the manager of Celtic football club after ‘resigning’ with immediate effect.
The club out the communication out around 7am this morning and confirmed John Kennedy would take interim charge of the football club until the end of the season.
The Irishman has had a horror season where Celtic have bounced from what disaster to the next and never really put up a proper defence of the title.
Celtic will now be taking the time to appoint their next man and they also must get set to appoint a Director of football.
There are eight games to go in the season before the club can begin to move forward and hopefully take their title back at the first time of asking next season.
Neil Lennon been a terrific servant for the club over the past 20 years but this was long overdue in the end.
Neil Lennon said: “We have experienced a difficult season due to so many factors and, of course, it is very frustrating and disappointing that we have not been able to hit the same heights as we did previously.
“I have worked as hard as ever to try and turn things around, but unfortunately we have not managed to get the kind of run going that we have needed.
“I have always given my best to the Club and have been proud to deliver silverware to the Celtic supporters. The Club will always be part of me. I will always be a Celtic supporter myself and I will always want the best for Celtic.
“I would like to thank so many people at the Club who have given me so much and I would also like to thank my family for their love and support. I wish the Celtic supporters, players, staff and directors nothing but success for the future.”
