He told the Scottish News of the World: “It’s never even crossed my mind. I’m on a six month rolling contract. It probably won’t be looked at again until the summer. I’m happy with that.”

Lennon claimed there was a “gross over-reaction” to his now infamous spat with Rangers assistant manager Ally McCoist.

The Hoops boss and McCoist clashed after last month’s Scottish Cup replay between the Old Firm rivals.

Lennon added: “I wasn’t happy with the reaction after the game. Far too much was made of what happened at the final whistle.

“A lot of fingers were pointed at me. I apologised to Celtic’s board the following day for what went on at the end.

“But I still think there was a gross over-reaction to my part in it. My role was nothing more than just a bit of finger-pointing to something I took exception to.”
