TOP MAN LENNY

NEIL LENNON has been named the Premiership Manager of the Month for September, following four successive league wins last month.

The Celtic boss kicked off the impressive sequence with a 5-0 victory against Ross County in Dingwall, then a 2-1 win over St Mirren in Paisley, followed by a 3-2 success at home to Livingston.

The quartet of triumphs was rounded off with a 3-0 triumph over Hibs at Parkhead in the east end of Glasgow.

Lennon got October off to a good start, too, with a hard-fought 2-0 verdict over St Johnstone in Perth at the weekend.

It’s the 14th time the Irishman has won the award – according to the club website – 13 with the champions and once during his three-season stint at Hibs.

Now the manager can get a breather during the international break before the league resumes on Saturday, October 17 with the visit of Steven Gerrard’s Ibrox side.
