Neil Lennon reckons that the insider leaking the Celtic team has gone “underground” after a furious response from Brendan Rodgers.
However, Lennon reckons that the boss may still face issues with trust behind the scenes at Celtic Park. Earlier in the season, Rodgers was left fuming after the mole that lets slip his starting XIs the day before matches as he accused the sinner of not having the club’s best interests at heart. The Hoops line up emerged online before their Premiership win over Dundee and the 6-0 Premier Sports Cup semi final demolition of Aberdeen – sparking a vow from Rodgers that he would plug the leak.
They now appear to have gone radio silent in recent months and Lennon – who endured similar during his time in the Parkhead hot seat and previously admitted he’d turned to FORENSICS to clamp down – has revealed the internal damage it can do to the squad.
However, he expressed his delight that the Parkhead problem had been rooted out. Ahead of the Scottish Cup clash with Raith Rovers, Lennon told Casino Uden Rofus: “I hope Celtic have fixed their team leak issue because that wasn’t helping anyone.
“Especially the manager. You’d always feel as though someone is letting you down, letting the team down. I think with all the media scrutiny it’s gone underground, thankfully the club can now try and move on and build more trust around the place.”
Despite facing similar issues during his time in the dugout, former Hibs and Hoops boss Lennon admitted he was eyeing a return to management. He has been out of work since a brief stint at Rapid Bucharest last year.
He added: “I absolutely want to get back into management if the right job comes around. I miss coaching but have also really enjoyed working on the media side.
“I have enjoyed the Champions League, Scottish games and Premier League games, it’s still so enjoyable. But I do have that desire to get back into coaching.”
