Lennon ready for special moment

NEIL LENNON admits it will be a “special moment” for him when he leads out Celtic ahead of today’s Scottish Cup final against Motherwell at Hampden Park.

Lennon, in his first full season as Hoops manager, was serving a touchline ban for the Co-operative Insurance Cup final against Rangers in March and had to sit in the stand as the Light Blues won 2-1 after extra-time.

Asked how much he was looking forward to walking out along with Fir Park boss Stuart McCall at the showpiece occasion, the former Celtic skipper joked: “It will make a pleasant change,” then added: “It will be a precious moment in my time here as a player, coach and now manager.
