Neil Lennon was on Premier Sports on Tuesday night, covering Champions League football.
There were some great games on store, with Liverpool vs Real Madrid stealing the spotlight along with PSG vs Bayern Munich.
While in the studio, Presenter Eoin McDevitt had joked to the former Celtic manager that Martin O’Neill was the last person to sit in his seat, and he’s back in the Celtic dugout now.
To which Lenny responded: “I might take that.”

Thankfully, he was joking and laughing along. The Dunfermline manager isn’t expected to make a return for the third time to the Parkhead dugout, but never say never at this club.
Martin O’Neill and Shaun Maloney have done a great job since stepping in. They’ll most likely remain in place until a suitable manager is found and appointed, whenever and whoever that may be.
They’ve had two good results so far, winning against Falkirk in the league and progressing past Rangers in the League Cup semi-final.
They now head into the toughest match yet, against a team at the top of the Europa League standings.
The squad travel to Denmark on Wednesday to face Midtjylland on Thursday. Only Nottingham Forest have scored against the side in the competition, with Martin O’Neill at that game watching on, impressed with what he was seeing.

God NO, he cost us the league title, all this garbage about gerrard winning it is just that ‘utter bollocks’ He lost the dressing room, the players trust and thats why the other mob got in. Top players leaving because lennon wanted to be a dictator and no idea how to run a team, or man management. I hope the board tries to get Robedto Martinez when O’Neill finally calls it a day, but well done so far Martin ☘️☘️☘️
