CELTIC manager Neil Lennon has stepped down following a dismal campaign that has left it 18 points behind rival Rangers, the Scottish Premiershi­p club said yesterday.

Lennon’s last game in charge was a 0-1 defeat to lowly Ross County on Sunday, which left Celtic’s hopes of a 10th consecutiv­e league title hanging by the narrowest of threads. No Scottish team has won 10 league titles in a row, with each of Glasgow’s “Old Firm” clubs having won nine successive championsh­ips. Celtic won nine straight titles from 1966-74 and from 2012-20, while Rangers won continuous­ly between 1989-97 but are without a major trophy since 2011. Celtic completed a “quadruple treble” in December by winning the 2019-20 Scottish Cup to complete the hat-trick of league title and both domestic cups for a fourth successive season. But Lennon had come under increasing scrutiny after falling well behind Rangers, who need just seven points from their last eight games to seal the 2020-21 league title. “We have experience­d a difficult season due to so many factors and it is very frustratin­g and disappoint­ing that we have not been able to hit the same heights as we did previously,” Lennon said. Assistant manager John Kennedy will take interim charge, with Celtic hosting fourth-placed Aberdeen on Saturday.
