CELTIC Football Club is delighted to announce today that former club captain Neil Lennon is to join the club's full-time coaching staff with immediate effect.

The Irishman, a hero among supporters throughout his time at the club, takes up his new role immediately and will be in the dugout at Celtic Park on Saturday for the game against Motherwell.

Celtic manager Gordon Strachan said: “Neil is someone who I am proud to have worked with previously and is a man who I have great respect for.

“Neil has made a huge contribution to Celtic over a number of years and has been a major part of the club's success in recent times.

“We were disappointed to lose Neil and he is someone who I was very keen to have back at the club.

“With his qualities, Neil will be a very valuable addition to our team and we are very much looking forward to working with him.”

And speaking to the official Celtic website, Neil Lennon described his delight at returning to Paradise.

Neil said: "I am overwhelmed at being offered this chance to return to Celtic, a place where everyone knows my heart lies.

"Obviously, it was a tremendous honour to play for Celtic and to captain the club. Returning to Celtic and being part of the coaching set-up is simply phenomenal.

"I would like to thank Gordon for this opportunity and I look forward to doing all I can to play my part in achieving further success for the Club."
