Lennon: I enjoyed pressure spell

NEIL LENNON claims he “really enjoyed” the recent and deepest crisis of his managerial career.

The Celtic boss had contemplated the implications of defeat by Kilmarnock at Rugby Park a fortnight ago, as he made his way up the tunnel at the interval 3-0 down and with the prospect of falling 13 points behind SPL leaders Rangers.

However, an inspirational half-time team talk saw the visitors storm back for a point and, with St Mirren scoring a late equaliser against the champions at Ibrox, the pressure on the Armagh man was alleviated.
