CELTIC legends Neil Lennon and Scott Brown are heading for a collision course a week tomorrow.
The former Hoops boss, who has been out of football since being sacked by Romanian club Dinamo Bucharest in August last year, is on the brink of being named new head coach of Dunfermline, according to the Daily Mail.
And the Fifers are scheduled to meet Brown’s Ayr United in a crucial Championship encounter at Somerset Park in eight days’ time.
Lennon, 53, a two-time gaffer at Parkhead, is ready to return to the dug-out after the East End Park club sacked Michael Tidser earlier in the week after just 60 days and 11 games in charge.

Broony’s Ayrshire outfit are pushing for promotion are are currently third in the table, nine points adrift of pacesetters Falkirk and one behind Livingston.
Lenny was Broony’s boss at Celtic and together the manager and captain won numerous honours at the club.
Their last success came during the Covid pandemic when they claimed the Scottish Cup with a penalty-kick shoot-out over Hearts at a deserted Hampden on December 20 2020 to seal a phenomenal quadruple for the Hoops.
The skipper quit the champions at the end of the season for a brief stop at Aberdeen while Lennon left in February the following year.
