Great news that we've got someone like Lenny to kick some asses in the dressing room.

But.....if he has arrived because TB can't cope then that is a big worry.

There is no doubt the kind of guy who comands respect in the dressing room....My only worry about that is ...has strachan lost the repesct aka the fear factor of the wrath? Either way he is well needed.

Celtic have appointed former captain Neil Lennon to the club's coaching staff and he will be in the dugout for Saturday's SPL game against Motherwell.
Lennon, 36, left Celtic Park last summer and has had playing spells at Nottingham Forest and Wycombe.
"I am overwhelmed at being offered this chance to return to Celtic, a place where everyone knows my heart lies," Lennon said.
"Returning to Celtic and being part of the coaching set-up is phenomenal." <!-- E SF -->
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." Martin O'Neill brought Lennon to Glasgow from Leicester City in December 2000 for £5.75m. During his six-and-half years at the club the Northern Irishman won five Scottish Premier League titles, four Scottish Cups and two CIS Cups.

Brilliant news weve needed someone of lennons passion to drive the players on and accept nothing but the 100% effort all game every game. Its just a pitty hes not a few years younger as we need someone like him in the centre of midfield at the minute.
Probably Gordon Strachans best signing yet?
