Desmond was behind McGuinness appointment, Lennon says

Neil Lennon revealed that Celtic’s majority shareholder Dermot Desmond was behind the intriguing recruitment of Donegal GAA Football manager Jim McGuinness as performance consultant.

The 39-year-old will remain at Donegal, whom he led to the All-Ireland title this year, but will be at Lennoxtown on a part-time basis to help in the development of the club’s young players.
