Former Celtic manager Neil Lennon has been speaking about current Hoops boss Ange Postecoglou.
Lennon has given an in-depth interview with PLZ Soccer where he covered a number of Scottish football related issues.
Midway through the chat with Peter Martin, the subject of his successor at Celtic arose.
Lennon spoke glowingly about the work the Aussie has done, saying that it was a “brilliant job” he had overseen at Celtic Park.
Given that Lennon’s Celtic and Postecoglou‘s Celtic seem like completely different eras, it’s sometimes hard to imagine the pair having any relationship.
But it appears that is the case, to an extent, as Lennon outlined.
“I text him the odd time and I’ve met him once,” the former Celtic skipper said.
“[I met him] on Byres Road funnily enough and I found him very engaging, very humble.
“You can see that the way he comes across. He’s a very quiet man but I just wish him well for the big games and he always comes back to me.
“I’m really enjoying watching Celtic at the minute with their style of play.”
I don’t know about you, but I’d have paid good money to see Postecoglou and Lennon bump into each other randomly in Glasgow’s west end.
It’s also slightly surprising, but kind of heartwarming, to hear that Lennon contacts Postecoglou to wish him good luck before major Celtic fixtures.
There’s clearly a lot of respect between the duo, despite how Lennon’s second stint at the club ended.
Ange has taken us on to a new level over the past two seasons.
Let’s hope both Lennon and Postecoglou are smiling come Sunday evening.
