Lennon in Scotland job link

Neil Lennon has emerged as the new target for the Scotland manager’s job Michael O’Neill turned down.

The Hibs boss is reportedly “flattered” by the link – but as yet no approach has been made by the Scottish FA.

O’Neill had been the favourite for the post but after talks with the SFA decided to remain as Northern Ireland manager.

Lurgan-born Lennon (46) has had an impressive spell with the Scottish Premiership side but an offer to manage Scotland would be hard to turn down.

He was capped 40 times for Northern Ireland during an eight year spell beginning in 1994
