Lennon targets Premiership return
Neil Lennon is aiming for one final crack at the Barclays Premiership when he quits Celtic in the summer.
The 35-year-old midfielder will bring down the curtain on seven years at Parkhead at the end of the season but believes he still has plenty to offer at the top level.
The former Leicester star has already been linked with a move to promotion-winning Sunderland and confirms England’s top flight is his most likely destination.
The Celtic skipper said: “I fancy a fresh start somewhere for a year or two. I think I’ll play in the Premiership.
“I have no worries about my fitness or state of mind as I’ve played more than 40 games again. I played in the Premiership for four or five years before I moved to Celtic. The quality hasn’t improved that much in England since then.
“If a Premiership club wants me, I don’t see why not. I’ll see what suits me.”
Despite earning cult status at Celtic, Lennon insists there is little chance of returning to the east end of Glasgow as manager one day.
He added: “I’ve had enough as a player and I’m not sure I could put myself through the ringer again as a manager.”
