Lennon eyes future return to England

Celtic midfielder Neil Lennon has insisted he will not be forced out of Glasgow – but admitted he eventually wants to return to the Barclaycard Premiership.

Celtic midfielder Neil Lennon has insisted he will not be forced out of Glasgow – but admitted he eventually wants to return to the Barclaycard Premiership.

Since his arrival at Parkhead, the Northern Irishman has been forced to quit international football following death threats and, most recently, was injured during an alleged incident following Celtic’s win over Motherwell.

But the former Leicester City player claimed he loves life in the Scottish city, despite the controversy.

He told the Herald: “I love it here and I remember envying guys like Alan Stubbs when I used to come up and watch Celtic while at Leicester.

“I want to stay, though I do ultimately fancy another crack at the Premiership.

“I’ll say this though. despite all the recent nonsense, I’ve loved life in Glasgow.

“Life here has been very fulfilling for me.”
