Neil Lennon will be in the dugout as Celtic begin life without Brendan Rodgers against Hearts
Celtic will be led into their Scottish Premiership clash with Hearts by Neil Lennon tonight.
The former Bhoys manager has returned to Celtic Park as interim boss following Brendan Rodgers’ departure to take the Leicester City job.
Lennon’s managerial career started at Celtic in 2010 as he guided them to three title victories and qualified for the Champions League group stages twice.
He returns at a time when the club are locked in a battle for the title with Steven Gerrard’s Rangers.
Celtic have opened up an eight-point gap over their fierce rivals and will be hoping Lennon can provide a seamless transition to continue extending their lead.
Former Hibernian boss Lennon is unlikely to receive a warm welcome by Hearts fans at Tynecastle tonight.
The 47-year-old was struck by a coin during the last Edinburgh derby he was involved in.
Lennon’s return to the club will stir up plenty of interest and fans will be able to watch all of the action unfold.
