Dunfermline CEO David Cook has provided an update on Neil Lennon’s future following links to the St Mirren job.
Lennon has combined his punditry work covering Celtic games with his duties at the Scottish Championship side, who are chasing promotion to the top flight.
St Mirren are looking for a new manager after Stephen Robinson left for Aberdeen, with the former Hoops boss emerging as one of the frontrunners for the job, and an update on the Buddies’ chances have been revealed.

Neil Lennon set to stay at Dunfermline, says CEO
Ahead of Dunfermline’s clash away at promotion rivals Ross County, Cook addressed supporters on social media in which he celebrated Lennon’s one year in charge of the club by confirming that he would be staying with the Pars.
He told the club’s social channels: “Today also marks twelve months since Neil Lennon joined us as manager.
“I can confirm Neil remains committed to DAFC despite some recent media speculation linking him with St. Mirren.
“Under his stewardship, the club has made tangible progress, and we find ourselves in a far stronger position than we were at this point last year.
“Recent performances are a clear reflection of the work happening behind the scenes, and we are fortunate to have Neil and his staff guiding the team.
“Already, we have surpassed last season’s totals for wins, goals, and points. Furthermore, the sporting structure at the club is almost unrecognisable from twelve months ago, with key appointments across sports science, video analysis, nutrition, and medical support.
“We are committed to building an elite performance environment to help our players reach their potential and give you a team to be proud of.”
