Lennon 'prepared' for Celtic snub

Neil Lennon insists he will not be devastated if he fails to land the job as Celtic manager.

The interim Hoops boss will discover his future following Sunday's final Clydesdale Bank Premier League game against Hearts at Tynecastle, where victory will extend the Parkhead side's winning run in the SPL to eight games.

The Irishman is keen to be appointed on a permanent basis but asked what his feelings would be if Celtic's owner Dermot Desmond said no, Lennon replied: "I am prepared for that, I am comfortable with it."

He added: "Everyone is saying it would be devastating. It won't. It's football and I have had highs and lows as a player.

"Very early in what you would deem my managerial career, I had a huge low (losing to Ross County) and came through that okay.

"So it won't be a devastating blow, but it will be a disappointment, yes.

"I haven't spoken to Dermot about it yet, I will probably speak to him after the game."
