Neil Lennon seeks Celtic return as Ronny Deila set for exit

Neil Lennon has signalled his interest in returning to Celtic after the club confirmed current boss Ronny Deila will be leaving at the end of the season.

Increasing speculation about the Norwegian’s future following the penalty shootout defeat to old rivals Rangers in Sunday’s William Hill Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden Park ended with a statement released by the Parkhead club which revealed Deila’s imminent departure.

Lennon won three Premiership titles and two Scottish Cups and took Celtic into the Champions League during the four years he spent as Hoops manager before he left in 2014 to be replaced by Deila.
