Celtic offer Lennon manager role on permanent basis

The Northern Irish boss was offered the job just an hour after leading the Hoops to a Scottish Cup victory

Celtic have confirmed that Neil Lennon has been offered their managerial job on a permanent basis.

Lennon took over as caretaker boss in February after Brendan Rodgers left the club to become manager of Leicester City.

The 47-year-old guided Celtic to a third consecutive treble, which was clinched on Saturday with a 2-1 Scottish Cup final win over Hearts.
